on Citysearch Jul 29, 2008When I was hired to teach guitar by Lisa Hughes (the original owner) it was a blessing to teach for Lisa. She was pleasant, easy to get along with and was not selfish in anyway. That was for a five year period. Then... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 26, 2008As a mom I don't recommend this studio. My daughter (only 7 years old) is developmentally slow in her motor skills. The owner had zero patience for this a couple years back and suggested my daughter, 5 at the time, dance... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2007My goodness!! A dance school that doesn't treat beginner's well! Some children don't start dance when they are two, but I think all kids no matter what age should be able to dance in a dance class!!!!!! My daughter was... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2007I heard some information about the summer intensive week that she just held. The things I heard were not too good. It's mandatory for the dancers doing competion to take one week of this intensive thing. I guess some... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 31, 2007I have danced at PMD/PAT for 12 years now. I have always loved it there and have grown to think of everyone there to be more like family. I have been on the competition team since it started, enjoyed doing the nutcracker... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2007All I have to say is wow!! Someone from this studio is obviously checking in everyday defending this studio! It's great you have that much pride, but it's only hurting the studio more is all that mother was trying to... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2007Okay .. so just to let you know. If these are real parents on this website you need to get a life cause honestly trash talking this studio is not making your daughter a better dancer. I really dont think true parents would... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2007I was looking for a place for my daughter to take lessons, and came across these other reviews and holy moly, the drama at this studio is too much!! Obviously, the clicky girls are happy and the ones that aren't part of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 05, 2007I'm glad the dance season ended so I can find another studio for my three girls. I hated every aspect and experience of this studio. It's not friendly, and why are those girls so defensive if there's nothing to cover up.... (more)

on Citysearch May 06, 2007I danced at PMD for ten years, and I always loved the teachers. The kids were friendly, though around high school age I found myself on the outskirts of the group. Although there was never open hostility, I found myself... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 30, 2007Ok this really needs to stop! PMD is the best studio in this area! All of these nasty comments are completely fabricated and just out right rude. PMD is not all about comp. Sure it is something that is talked about a lot... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 29, 2007I am so glad I took my daughter out of PMD 2 years ago. Everything I hear now is all about competition, but thats the only good that there is there. So really it's clear that Paula only cares about the name and image that the... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 27, 2007This is certainly not the studio you want to be a part of. Unless you know people there, like the owner, and therefore you join the clicky-ness. My daughter was part of another studio in Central Mass, and wanted a... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 27, 2007Paula Meola Dance is by far the best out there. I've been here for a quite a few years and I have never had a complaint. There is constantly so much going on at PMD. Nutcrackers, Rectials, Competition, and Disney Trips.... (more)
