My daughter, Ava, is six and has been dancing for three years. I can't believe she has three years under her belt already! It's worth the countless hours spent at the studio - she absolutely loves it. And she lives for the recitals. A couple years ago, we decided to try a class at The Foundry Center for the Arts. She loved the teacher, Miss Sharon, and even though there weren't many girls in the class, it grew quickly. I'm proud to announce Ava was promoted to a higher level class and her passion increased even more.

We like The Foundry, located next to Schnucks in Newburgh, because of their non-competitive atmosphere, faith-based principals, positive and age-appropriate teaching methods, and their belief that students need to learn fundamentals but they should also given the freedom to express themselves creativity. And the Foundry doesn't just offer dance. They also have classes in painting, pottery, photography, creative writing, choir, musical theater, acting, music, after school programs, camps, and private lessons. There is always a LOT going on and it's an amazing non-profit organization to have in our community.
