Five years ago this September Michael Barnardo opened Cafe Mio in Gardiner. The surrounding bounty of local farms in the Hudson Valley inspired Michael to open his own place where he could create his own recipes. Using local low calorie ingredients with his own creativity has enabled Michael to come up with amazing dishes that have customers becoming “regulars,” returning again and again. A talented and passionate staff, that truly cares about their customers, has enabled a special interaction that builds great customer relationships.

Michael said one of his favorite things about his business has been dealing with local farms.

Having a direct relationship with local suppliers and wineries isn’t something every restaurateur gets to experience.

Building warm relationships with suppliers, staff and customers, combined with an open kitchen makes Cafe Mio a very special place indeed.

This final picture was a celebratory shot that photographer, Michael Gold, captured to help the school remember a year’s worth of commitment and dedication to instruction.

Madeline Bartolotti founded Madeline’s Dance Center in 1991. Originally located in Highland, New York through 2005, the school moved to Marlboro, NY where Southern Ulster Center for the Arts was established on Route 9W. Madeline holds a Bachelor’s degree in Dance Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology. She is a NY State Certified teacher and an affiliate of the American Academy of Ballet. With a strong emphasis on teaching technical skills in dance, tumbling and performance, Madeline’s Dance Center provides students with a well-rounded educational approach and a unique style to achieve success.

Madeline’s students have been accepted into top dance agencies and fine accredited dance programs and universities and have received numerous awards and scholarships. While hard work and discipline have been the keys to success, Madeline’s has a family-like atmosphere.

“There is so much encouragement from everyone that it’s no wonder that the end product of what we do always turns out great.” Madeline’s additional college degree in Early Childhood education has helped her to establish a strong preschool / beginner program that helps students start their path at a young age and many carry on to senior year in high school and even beyond.

Classes at Madeline’s Dance Center offer many dance disciplines, tumbling, theatre and exercise for beginners through professionals. They now offer a 5 day per week after school program.

Madeline’s offers family tuition and finance plans to help families obtain a positive and supportive foundation for their children. Madeline’s Dance Center supports Southern Ulster Performing Arts Company, a not for profit charitable organization.
