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.

My daughter has been at Center for the Performing Arts Dance and Acting school since she was three years old! She absolutely loves everything about this studio as do my husband and I. She started out as a little ballerina and now she is on the level 5 competition dance team. Seeing her grow every single year brings a smile to our faces and tears to our eyes. She had never acted before and decided just this year she was going to try out for the studio production of Twisted, a journey through Oz. The poise, confidence, and elegance the students gain from the wonderful instructors is unmatched. CPAM is a family.

My 9 year old daughter Aisling (AJ) started dancing at CPAM when she was 2.5 years old. My 4 year old daughter, Lily, started the same age as her sister. The teachers are amazing, dedicated and encourage and elevated their students confidence. We come to think of the teachers and students as part of our family. Both girls are on the dance team and absolutely love it! Because of AJ's extensive training through master summer camps, competitions, and recitals, she got accepted into the Joffery ballet summer camp this summer. Thank you Michelle Mitchitson, Nikki Surette, Avery Pelosi, Jalayna Demars, Vickki McPhee, Sophia Mitchitson, and Ariana Mitchitson for the the countless hours you have spent inspiring, helping, and motivating my girls and teaching them how to use their passion, work hard all year long, and reach their personal best ❤

This is my first year at CPAM and I love it. I am a senior who takes Ballet for adults. My teacher is Michelle and she is so gracious to her class. She always encourages and smiles and stops to answer any questions. She, herself is such a beautiful, graceful dancer. I love watching her demonstrate the steps. Her daughter takes the same class and I am so impressed by the love and respect they have for each other as family and as dancers. I also notice that the children who are taking other classes in other studios look so happy and comfortable. They have plenty of space to run around and play while they wait for their ride home. there is joy in the whole space. The other teachers that I have met are just as sweet and joyful. My class mates have taken dance there for years so I know my impressions are correct. I hope anyone reading this will stop in and see for themselves!

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!
