*A NOTE ON 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.
