OUR LOCATION
Few places offer the cultural richness and sheer beauty of New England in the summertime. Our region has served as the backdrop and inspiration for countless artists for hundreds of years. To this day, Marblehead and the neighboring North Shore towns of Massachusetts are where many artists, dancers, authors and historians choose to call home. In addition to strolling the many quaint galleries, studios and boutiques in town, students may use their free time to visit some of the following local treasures:
TESTIMONIALS
MSB is an exceptional place with very kind people. There we found friends and trustworthy people willing to take care of our daughter Karina. When we saw the performance the last day of intensive, we noticed her growth was incredible. At that moment, we knew Paula and the studio were special. Paula takes the time to make sure every student understands how to do things the right way, and she does it from the heart. Our most sincere gratitude to Paula and the MSB family. Hope to see you all next summer!

I am so thankful to have a mentor like Paula Shiff. We work really hard in the summer intensive, and it’s a lot of fun. I can see a lot of improvement in myself just in 3 weeks. I can’t wait for the next intensive!
