What faberge follies does

Faberge Follies is a private, single-location dance and gymnastics studio based in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, founded in 1989 by principal instructor "Miss Faberge." The studio serves children ages 3-14 through combo dance-and-gymnastics classes built on its proprietary "Sparkle Acro Syllabus," which is described as nationally recognized and used by affiliated studios. Core class pricing is structured around monthly tuition, with one class per week in the $55-$80 range and two classes per week at $85, indicating a recurring, direct-to-consumer tuition model.

The studio also offers adult wedding dance coaching, extending its addressable market beyond children's programming. It fields an Acro Team (with a second generation founded in 2016) and the Faberge Girl Alumnae Ensemble (founded in 2015), creating multi-generational continuity for former students. Faculty includes credentialed specialists such as Dr. Larry Skinner (former ESU/Parkettes coach), Madeline Ligenza (NYC Ballet trained), and Mary Demelfi (certified Acro instructor), with approximately six instructors in total.

Operationally, the studio runs a modest digital stack — MarketMuscles for its website platform and JackRabbit Class for its parent portal — supporting online enrollment and parent communication. Recognition includes the 2022 ATHENA Award and the Standard-Speaker People's Choice "Best Dance Studio" designation in 2026. Revenue is generated almost entirely from family tuition, with no enterprise customers, franchise model, or disclosed financial scale.
