Step into the intense action of our NERF Dueling Challenge at Key City Steampunk! Feel the adrenaline as you and your rivals face off in a high-stakes duel. Armed with NERF pistols and just three darts, you’ll walk ten paces, turn, and fire. Precision and strategy will determine who stands victorious and who falls.

Safety is paramount—eye protection is mandatory for all (and will be provided). This is no ordinary game; it’s a gritty test of skill and nerve. Mayor Tony himself will oversee the event, ensuring every duel is as thrilling as it is fierce. Don’t miss your chance to prove your mettle in this unforgiving arena. Every shot counts. Be ready.

In this Introduction to Dancing with Silk Fans we’ll explore the fabulous art of fan dance! No experience is necessary as we’ll cover beginner movements and styles relevant to all manner of dance including belly dance, burlesque and flow arts. We’ll learn movements and techniques and put together some simple choreography! You’ve been sitting in panels *all day* so let’s stretch and Dance It Out!

Come try something new or add to your Silk Fan dance repertoire! See you on the dance floor 🙂

**Comfortable, flexible, dance clothing/shoes encouraged for this class. Shannon M. has been involved in some manner of dance since she was able to walk. From ballet to belly dance, her love of dance evolved as she discovered the flow arts community and the joy of dancing with props. One magical summer night a friend and fellow performer put a pair of fans in her hands and she never looked back. She’s enjoyed perfecting her art and has danced with notable troupes including Dance Afire Productions and has appeared at internationally recognized events like The DC Fetish Ball.

This is a two-part dice class where you will be able to use hand-made molds to cast your own 7-piece dice set. An array of alcohol inks, mica powders, pigment pastes will be available. I do recommend wearing something that you don’t mind getting ruined (particularly for the pouring class) and coming in with an idea of colors or a design as the options can get overwhelming. The first part will be picking your design and executing it pouring resin and the second part consists of sanding and inking after the resin has had time to cure in my pressure pots.

$60.00 Materials Fee and preregistration will be required
