New England Movement Arts

"I have attended Ann Munchmeyer's Zumba classes at NEMA for 4 years. The classes are fun, each song has a different dance routine, and the mix of different genres is great. Try a class. You'll love it."

"Tessa teaches west coast swing here and she is an amazing teacher. Full disclosure: although we've not competed together - her grace, movement and height combine to make her a champion competitor. Will return."

"I wish I could break this review into two parts: classes/teaching and facilities. Sensei Nathan for karate and Lawyer Times for chess are phenomenal teachers and human beings. They and their classes are 5 stars. We've had one son in karate for about 5 or 6 years and I cannot imagine a better teacher for young kids - perpetually full of energy, amazing skill, positive and constructive teaching, and motivation. Chess started here about a year ago and both my boys love it as well as Lawyer's tireless dedication to preaching the wonders of chess to the masses (I love it as well). For the facilities, I'd give 0 stars if I could because of the parking lot. It is SHAMEFULLY bad and an embarrassment for NEMA. Someone amateurishly painted faint lines two different times - one slanted and one perpendicular - the end result is confusion (with some people parked slanted and some perpendicular) and an erosion of an already tiny parking lot. Additionally, the overflow space is not paved or marked, causing more confusion when folks get blocked in. To the owners: PLEASE invest in making your parking lot equal to NEMA's mission - a truly 6-star treasure trove for children's development."

"I danced for a while at another studio and although I liked it, they weren’t very serious about improving and never pushed me to get better. I would start to feel tired at around the end of class. They didn’t even teach pointe. There was a negative atmosphere there, so bad I quit. Switching to NEMA was the best decision ever! My improvement here in two months is equal to the amount I improved at my old studio in two years. The teachers are amazing, always giving corrections, pushing us to do our best. By the second combination, I feel hot. I look forward to class every day, and love it so much! Everyone is super nice and friendly, and overall, people are really close. There’s something about dancing that sparks joy—the music playing, moving your body with grace, beauty, emotion—that brings so many together, that changes lives."

"I took several open-ballet classes after many years I haven't been dancing and it is really fun. The teacher is VERY professional. After I was so impressed from the place and staff I brought my 5 years old son and his friend to celebrate there his birthday- a "gymnastics birthday". My son was very happy and so did all the others!! Great place!"
