Ken Pilates is holding a fundraiser class on Saturday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. to benefit Davinara Dance Collective, a Kazakh contemporary dance company founded by artistic director Davinara Marcario in 2024. The company received a fiscal sponsorship from Dance New Jersey in 2026.

The class, called SpringSculpt, runs 50 minutes and combines low impact, high intensity movement meant to help participants build strength for dance. It will be co-taught by Ken Pilates instructors Davi and Ava, who also run Davinara Dance Collective. All levels are welcome to attend.

The event is donation based, with rates starting at $20, and all proceeds go directly to the dance company. Organizers say the funds will support artist compensation, production costs, media design, and costume construction as the group prepares for its fall season. Beyond the workout, the class doubles as a chance to hear music from the company and connect with other local artists.
