Miss Faberge aka Carol A. Zielinski, owner and operator of Faberge Follies Dance ’n' Tumble has been selected as the recipient of the 2022 Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Athena Award, sponsored by Lehigh Valley Hospital Hazleton.
Miss Faberge opened the doors to her studio located in downtown Hazleton 33 years ago. Her love of dance from a young age quickly translated to opening and operating the studio. She has been nationally published in Dance Teacher magazine and also expanded into a retail boutique, The Diva Dancewear Boutique which was opened for the ease of area creatives to find all that they needed locally. Always an innovator with a heart to match her skills, she is now working on an online presence “ The Faberge Way” to share her 33 years as a business owner, performer, and dancer with so many others.
Community service is a key component of the Athena Award. Miss Faberge's core philosophy is “ never to say no when asked” and she has generously shared her talents and special brand of enthusiasm with so many organizations in the Greater Hazleton area. Her studio has been front and center for Santa and Easter Bunny events, the Chamber annual meeting, Drums fall festival, American Cancer Society Ball, Valley Day, working with scouts on badge requirements, and the Philharmonic Sounds of the Season holiday show. She launched and coordinated “The Make Someone Happy” tour of all the senior centers and nursing homes. This tour welcomes not only dance students but anyone wanting to share their talents for the benefit of seniors in our area. Her spirit, creative passion and talents make each and every occurrence better for having her touch.
