Our pricing reflects not only the expertise of our teachers but also the real costs of maintaining a vibrant, arts-focused space in a small-town setting. Every time you attend a class—or invite a friend to join—you help us grow a stronger, more connected community. Thank you for showing up, dancing, creating, and moving with us. We love seeing you and look forward to continuing to nurture dance, art, movement, and community here in the Gorge.
