Center for Performing Arts Dance Studio & Acting School 55 Chase Street, Methuen, MA 01844

"Absolutely the worst experience I’ve had with any dance center wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Treated my daughter horribly, laughed and giggled with co workers at the fact that my two year old couldn’t comprehend at what she was being asked to do. I took my daughter immediately out of the the class as she was crying. Touched and grabbed my daughter multiple times by her arms and hands to sit down when needed. Teaching discipline is one thing and continuing to forcibly make a child follow a command is another. The owner did not have the decency to refund us the same day will not answer our voicemail or calls. Inappropriate young teachers who do not qualify to teach little children especially toddlers."

"I just had my sons Nerf birthday party there. It was such an amazing time! It was his first class party and I wanted a venue where parents who chose to stay would be able to sit and relax while the kids had fun. CPAM was the perfect place for that! Their HUGE lobby had lots of seating options and a nice toy area for the little kiddos who weren’t interested in the Nerf part. I’m that same area I was also able setup a long table for pizza, cake, presents, AND a fun piñata! The studio space for the Nerf Blasters was AMAZING! It was spacious, the kids had plenty of space to run around, and I could even play music. I would HIGHLY recommend this place! My son is still talking about what a great time he had."

"CPAM is awesome! Both of my kids have flourished at CPAM. One of them has developed on a dance team and the other in acting and voice. Michelle and her team are dedicated to their students. We are lucky to have found them."

"We were thrilled to find a place where both of our children could take classes despite their different interests in performing arts! Our oldest takes voice and acting classes and participates in theater productions, while our younger child dances. Over the years, as we saw the talent developed by kids in the program, our daughters were inspired to deepen their studies. Our girls’ love and appreciation for performing arts has grown and blossomed here! It’s a lot of goodness under one roof, with great instruction, amazing performances, and reasonable prices!"

"My 16 year old has been a dancer at the Center for Performing Arts Methuen since she was 3 years old, dancing competitively for the past 5 years. They offer dance, theatre, voice and acro for ages 2 and up. There are even several classes for adults. Monthly rates and costume fees are reasonably priced. Costumes and dances are always age appropriate. I cannot say enough about the amazing instruction, support and encouragement of Michelle and her staff! She fosters an environment focused on personal growth and achievement. She has always been diligent about cleanliness and there is currently a mask requirement at the studio to keep all students, teachers and families safe, which I love. I highly recommend CPAM!"
