Female Icons Halloween DFN x Helping Hands Fundraiser /// Thursday, October 29th: 6:00pm - October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We’re partnering with Helping Hands, a local nonprofit providing shelter, advocacy, and education for survivors of domestic violence. Dress as a female icon who represents strength to you (and yes, that can be YOU!) as we move together in support of survivors and learn how we can better support their work in our community. This class is a fundraiser and any amount contributed above the class price will go directly to Helping Hands. Save your spot & donate here!
Feminine Dancehall with Alia Lux /// Saturday, November 7th: 2:30-4:00pm - Feminine Dancehall explores the movement, style, and energy that women bring to Dancehall. We'll cover the history of the culture and build foundational skills like hip rolling ("whining your waistline"), fluid movement, and footwork, then see how they all come together. We'll also learn some modern moves and put them into a short choreography to take home. This workshop is $36 or you have the option to use your class-pass and it will deduct 2 classes from the pass! Save your spot!

*OUR business model*
At NK STUDIOS, we operate on a unique profit-sharing model that empowers creatives to offer inspiring, high-quality classes while building a sustainable livelihood. Instead of a traditional pay-per-hour system, the majority of your class fee goes directly to the instructor—recognizing their talent, experience, and the energy they invest in creating unforgettable classes. 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.
