MindBodyArt
10 Years. One Community. Endless Possibilities. Celebrating Season 10 & Honored to Be Voted Centre County Favorites GOLD for its Dance Studio & Summer Camps “The greatest achievement isn’t the awards we’ve earned... it’s the lives we’ve had the privilege to be a part of.” There are certain moments that bring you back to where it all began. As MindBodyArt celebrates its tenth season, being voted Centre County Favorites GOLD for both Dance Studio and Summer Camps is one of those moments. This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from the community we proudly call home. It represents the trust of local families, the dedication of our students and team, and the incredible support of Centre County over the past decade. More than an award, it is a reminder of what has been built together. When MindBodyArt first opened its doors, the vision was simple: to create an artistic space where children felt welcomed, encouraged, and inspired. The goal was always bigger than dance. It was to build a community where children could discover confidence, families could find support, and the performing arts could help shape great humans. That vision also included helping families find greater balance through programs such as our licensed after-school program — a safe,
engaging place where children can learn, create, and grow beyond the school day. Most importantly, every child should feel that they belong. Ten years later, that vision continues to guide everything we do. From our youngest recreational dancers taking their very first class to our licensed after-school programs, summer camps, musical theatre, tumbling and acro, ninja challenge courses, and competitive dance teams, each program shares the same purpose: helping children grow in confidence, character, and a belief in themselves. Whether a child joins us once a week simply for the joy of dancing or trains many hours each week, every student is equally important and every journey deserves to be celebrated. Our recreational programs remain at the heart of MindBodyArt. Each week, children discover the excitement of movement, music, creativity, and friendship. They build confidence one class at a time and experience the joy of being part of something bigger than themselves. Watching a child step onto the stage for the first time, discover something they didn’t know they could do, or simply find a place where they feel at home is one of our greatest rewards. Student success at MindBodyArt is built on teamwork, respect, and lifting one another up. Our competitive dancers are taught to compete with integrity, celebrate the success of others, and appreciate dancers from other studios who inspire them to continue growing. They learn that progress takes hard work, patience, passion, and commitment — and that celebrating the accomplishments of others can be just as important as celebrating their own.
We celebrate technical growth, performances, and choreography awards, but we are equally proud of the prestigious scholarships, leadership experiences, and artistic opportunities our students earn beyond the studio. Whether representing MindBodyArt on a national stage or giving back within their own community, our dancers continue to grow as artists, leaders, and role models. None of this would be possible without the extraordinary people who make MindBodyArt feel like home. Alongside Assistant Director Kaila, an incredible team of educators pours their hearts into the children who walk through our doors. We are incredibly grateful for our faculty — Aaliyah, Finley, Gillian, James, Jamie, Julie, Lauren, Maggie, Mel, Raegan, Raia, Sarah, Shante’, Takiyah, and Vicky — and our outstanding assistants — Abby, Aliza, Braeden, Jaeda, Katie, Lily, Mara, and Mason. They are so much more than instructors. They are teachers, mentors, role models, and champions for our students. Just as importantly, they support one another, share ideas, and collaborate often — always

looking for ways to make our programming and our students’ experiences even better. Their passion for what they do, the children they teach, and the team around them has helped create a place where students feel both challenged and celebrated. We also believe that success reaches beyond what happens inside our studio walls. Giving back to the community that has supported MindBodyArt for the past ten years will always be part of who we are. Through local partnerships, community initiatives, and opportunities such as using our annual Spring Recital to support the State High Dance Team, we hope to teach our students that the performing arts are even more powerful when they lift others up. Our summer camps carry that same spirit, giving children throughout Centre County a place to laugh, create, make new friends, try new adventures, and build memories in a safe and encouraging environment. As MindBodyArt celebrates Season 10, our commitment remains unchanged: to keep growing, keep creating, and keep providing opportunities where children discover not only a love for the performing arts, but a lifelong belief in themselves — while continuing to be a place where families feel supported along the way. Ten years ago, we simply hoped to create a place where children felt like they belonged.
Teach Great Dancers. Build Even Greater Humans.
Today, because of this incredible community, we know we have. With heartfelt gratitude,
Michele & Jay & the entire MindBodyArt Family

WHERE NUMBERS

Having celebrated its 20th anniversary on Aug. 1, Ledgers By Liisa has grown by focusing on small and medium-sized businesses rather than treating clients like numbers.

“We get really excited when we can say, ‘You should probably hire somebody in-house,’” she said. “It’s sad when we have to help them go, but it’s also really gratifying because we know we’ve helped them along the way.” Looking back on two decades in business, Bartges takes pride not only in reaching the milestone but also in discovering a career she genuinely loves. After attending business school and managing her mother’s store, she was asked whether she could provide bookkeeping services for others. That simple question led to a business built on relationships, problem-solving, and helping entrepreneurs succeed. “I’m proud of sticking with it, and I love what I do,” Bartges said. “I love the puzzle. I love crunching the numbers. It’s part of the fun.”

CARE THAT
MOVES WITH YOU Recovery often begins with a single step. For some, it is climbing the stairs without assistance. For others, it is returning to work or sports, or simply playing with grandchildren without pain. At Energy Rehab, those milestones guide every treatment plan. By bringing high-quality physical, occupational, and speech therapy directly to patients and tailoring care to individual goals, the locally owned practice helps people throughout the region regain confidence, mobility, and independence.
Energy Rehab was founded after recognizing that many people who needed outpatient therapy could not receive it consistently. Transportation challenges, busy schedules, mobility limitations, and caregiving responsibilities often stood between patients and the care they needed. “We believed healthcare should adapt to the patient – not the other way around,” said Adam Frank, PT, co-owner. “Becoming the area’s first mobile outpatient therapy provider allowed us to remove barriers to care while giving our therapists the opportunity to treat patients in the environments where they actually live and function every day.” Energy Rehab has since added an outpatient clinic, complementing its mobile services while maintaining the individualized approach at the heart of the practice.
Physical therapy remains central to the practice, but Adam and Renee Frank, also a PT and co-owner, emphasize that its benefits extend beyond recovery from surgery or injury. The team helps patients improve balance, prevent falls, manage chronic pain, build strength, enhance mobility, and maintain independence as they age. Athletes receive injury-prevention and performance training to help them stay at their best. Rather than simply treating symptoms, therapists identify the underlying causes of movement problems before they become more serious. Each evaluation considers the patient’s lifestyle, medical history, functional needs, and goals. Treatment plans reflect those circumstances, whether helping a child reach developmental milestones, supporting recovery after a neurological condition, or helping an older adult remain independent. One memorable patient showed the team why that approach matters. Her greatest goal was not simply to walk without pain, but to remain safely in her own home. By providing therapy where she lived, the team addressed
the obstacles she faced each day, helping her regain confidence and preserve her independence. “The most rewarding moments aren’t necessarily the biggest milestones – they’re often the small victories that completely change someone’s life,” said Renee. Treating patients in their everyday environments offers advantages that cannot always be replicated in a traditional clinic. Therapists can evaluate stairs, entrances, kitchens, bathrooms, uneven sidewalks, and workspaces, then incorporate those real-world challenges into treatment. Family members and caregivers can also participate, strengthening the support systems that often improve long-term outcomes. Energy Rehab also views therapy as part of a longer continuum of care. After formal treatment, patients can transition into wellness programs, personal training, sports performance training, or geriatric wellness services. “Recovery doesn’t stop when physical therapy ends,” Renee said. “Rather than simply discharging patients, we provide opportunities for continued

guidance and support throughout every stage of life.” Energy Rehab’s approach has earned the trust of patients, physicians, and the community. Being named the Gold Winner in the Best of Centre County Favorites reflects that confidence. This fall, the practice will open its second outpatient clinic in the Benner Pike area of Bellefonte, making its services more accessible to families throughout Centre County. “We want people to know they don’t have to accept pain or limited mobility as a normal part of life,” Adam said. “Whether we’re seeing someone in their home or one of our clinics, our mission is always the same – to help people live healthier, more active lives.”
Through physical, occupational, and speech therapy, personalized treatment plans, and mobile care, Energy Rehab helps patients reach meaningful milestones. From restoring movement to preserving independence, the practice remains focused on improving lives – one patient, one goal, and one step at a time.

BENEFITS OF SOFTWASHING • NO PRESSURE USED • SANITIZES SURFACES • NO EROSION OF SURFACE • LASTS 4 TO 6 TIMES LONGER • TREATS THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE • USES 1/3 THE WATER
HAPPY VALLEY’S FAVORITE
SOFTWASHER
We use a water-based, biodegradable chemicals. They emulsify dirt and grime, break down bugs nest and webs as well as kills mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria, sanitizing the surfaces we are cleaning. Softwash uses only one third the water of pressure washing, lasts four to six times longer and doesn’t erode the surface, like pressure washing often can.
