Thrive: The Essence of Dance, 401 Monroe Tpke, Monroe, CT 06468, US

Norwalk Academy of Dance is located on High St., and offers dance classes for children aged three through seventeen in ballet, tap, lyrical, hip hop and jazz. In addition, it provides several adult workshops, as well as a competition dance team. Melissa Fudale, its owner and director, studied classical ballet as a child and is also a "dance mom." It was her dream to work in a business that she loved with talented and inspiring people. With the Norwalk Academy of Dance, her dreams came true. Each year, the studio holds a recital in June, and the students' family and friends are also invited.
