A Performing Arts Academy – Is the realized dream of Susan Byrne, owner/Director of Dance Exclusive in Swampscott for 25 years and 3rd generation owner/Director of The Deane School of Dance in Salem for 23 years, Seanna Chmura. Together they are dedicated to bring dance into the lives of their students with the same abundance of love, patience, and hard work their mentors always displayed. Today’s students are taught with the same time-tested fundamental teaching methods, along with some new methods that have been researched and developed to ensure that the students are getting the best possible dance education and training.
