SUMMARY:Hood River FUSION! — Social dance
DESCRIPTION:Learn partner dancing and experience that blissful experience of connecting with someone on the dance floor.\n\nTHIS FRIDAY\, August 21\, TWO teachers are coming from Portland…\n\n🌟Daylight and 🌟Delphi will be teaching a Tarraxo-style leg connection for fusion dance. \n\nCLASS INFO:\n\nWHAT’S TARRAXO? Most dance styles rely on upper body frame\, but Tarraxo uses leg connection for leading and following. This unlocks a completely unique movement style and a fresh way to communicate with a partner. Tarraxo\, like fusion\, is one of the newest forms of social dance and when you experience it\, you’ll see what’s so special about it and why it’s growing in popularity so fast.\n\nThe class this FRIDAY will start by exploring tone\, body communication and moving together comfortably. Then we’ll learn the Tarraxo frame\, the points of connection on the body and how to sprinkle it into your fusion dance vocabulary.\n\nFusion is an open style of partner dance that blends any other style\, steps or movements from other forms. It’s playful and a great place to start social dancing or to expand what you’ve already learned.\n\nEVENT INFO\n7-8pm Class (You don’t want to miss this one)\n8-9pm Open Dance\nFlow Yoga\n1015 12th ST Hood River\n$10-$30 sliding scale\n($15 min for both hours. If you’re new to social dancing or new to fusion you MUST attend class. You’ll be glad for it.)\n\nBRING FRIENDS! The more people who come\, the more partners you get! Let’s grow this scene together into a thriving fusion community in the gorge!\n\nSee you FRIDAY!

SUMMARY:First Friday Opening Reception: Belonging Otherwise & Columbia River Gorge in VI Sections
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions. In the main gallery\, Belonging Otherwise brings together Epiphany Couch and Charlie-Anne Hopkins\, two artists whose work converges around identity\, ecology\, and the layered histories of the American West — reframing the region not as static history but as a living terrain of story and survival. In the lobby\, Kristie Strasen’s Columbia River in VI Sections maps the full length of the Columbia through handwoven tapestries\, tracing the river’s geological\, cultural\, and political history and its central role in Native sovereignty and environmental balance.  \nMingle\, enjoy light refreshments\, and be among the first to experience both exhibitions. Both shows run September 4 through October 30. \n  \nAbout the Artists \nEpiphany Couch (she/her) is a spuyaləpabš (Puyallup)\, Yakama\, and Scandinavian/mixed European interdisciplinary artist and writer. Drawing on family stories\, archival research\, her own dreams\, and her childhood in caləłali (Tacoma\, WA)\, she works across photography\, beadwork\, weaving\, and collage. Her recent honors include a Percent for Art commission\, the Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial\, residencies at MASS MoCA and the GLEAN Program\, and a Career Opportunity Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission. She lives and works in Portland\, OR.  \nCharlie-Anne Hopkins (they/them) holds an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from the Kansas City Art Institute. They have held residencies at the Museum of Arts and Design (NYC)\, Vermont Studio Center\, Caldera Arts\, Brush Creek Foundation\, Mildred’s Lane\, Leland Ironworks\, Sou’wester Arts\, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology\, and Aunt Dofe’s\, and have exhibited nationally and internationally. They co-founded Carnation Contemporary\, a cooperative gallery in Portland\, OR championing emerging and underrepresented artists. Hopkins lives and works in Thorp\, Washington.  \nKristie Strasen built a highly successful career in New York City as a textile designer and colorist for leading companies in the interior furnishings industry before returning to her roots as a hand weaver and launching Little Weavings Co in 2017. Committed to making “things worth keeping\,” she creates artisanal\, one-of-a-kind pieces from natural fibers – often hand spun or produced by small-batch spinners\, and both commercially and naturally dyed. Known for an intuitive command of color drawn from years of building color systems for clients across North America and Europe\, Strasen weaves work of unusual richness and significance.

Two rhythm sections. A night of swing you won’t hear anywhere else — performed under the open sky inside the walls of a century-old fruit cannery. \nThe Royale is a listening showcase\, giving both ensembles room to stretch out across the swing-era standards and contemporary big band writing that define their books. The evening culminates in a combined finale putting musicians from both bands on stage together. \n“Two bands from two sides of the Gorge\, one stage\, and a sound you only get when you put that much brass and rhythm on the same stage. It’s the right way to close out summer and open our season\,” says Michael Paul\, Jazz Collective Director. \nThe Royale opens the Jazz Collective’s 2026–2027 concert and dance season\, which continues with Moonlight Over the Gorge at Cascade Locks Pavilion on October 23\, My Funny Valentine — Sweetheart’s Dance on February 14\, Generations in Swing with The Dalles High School Jazz Band on April 3\, and Full Bloom Swing on May 2. \nEvent Details:\n What: End of Summer Big Bands Royale\nWho: Jazz Collective Big Band and NoPo Big Band\nWhen: Thursday\, September 10th\, 7–9 PM\, doors at 6:30 PM\n Where: The Ruins\, 13 Railroad St\, Hood River\, OR 97031 (outdoor venue)\nFormat: Showcase concert — no dance floor \nTickets are available at the door or gorgeorchestra.org after September 1.

Under Musical Director Scott “Herm” Anderson\, the band has become a cornerstone of Portland’s jazz scene. Before relocating to Portland in 2021\, Anderson spent 22 years performing at Chicago’s most prestigious venues alongside Howard Levy (Béla Fleck)\, Pat Mallinger\, and Marquis Hill. His original project\, the Nia Quintet\, has released three albums praised by Jazz Times and Cadence Magazine\, and he has performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival and France’s Blues Passions Festival\, and with Akira Tana\, Rufus Reid\, Tim Hagans\, and Fred Hersch. \nThe Jazz Collective Big Band\, part of the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association (CGOA)\, represents the finest jazz talent in the Hood River area. Under the direction of Michael Paul — who joined as Lead Trumpet in 2017 and took the podium in 2021 — the ensemble has grown into a regional powerhouse. Paul brings over 15 years of professional experience as a trumpet player and Musical Director with major cruise lines\, along with training at the University of North Texas. He also performs with the Southwest Washington Symphony and with the NoPo Big Band\, forming a direct musical bridge between the two ensembles on this bill. The Jazz Collective continues CGOA’s mission to “Connect\, Inspire\, and Create” through the power of live music. \nAbout The Ruins:\nHoused in a 100-year-old fruit cannery in downtown Hood River\, The Ruins is an open-air venue where weathered brick\, overhead string lights\, and a full professional sound system have made it one of the Gorge’s most distinctive cultural destinations — and a favorite spot to hear live music under the stars. \nThe Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and presenting musical performances of the highest quality in the Columbia River Gorge region. With a commitment to artistic excellence and education\, CGOA brings the joy of music to audiences of all ages. \n  \n
