"Christine invests everything into her students, molding them into sharp, honest, and unique performers with strong artistic compasses. Christine has instilled in me a work ethic like no other; she has taught me to be committed to my craft, and to always working towards achieving a more-honest and believable interpretation of a song or monologue. I want to pursue a career in musical theater, and as I approach this daunting college process, I know I will look to Christine, as I always have, for the shrewdest guidance around, a clear view of reality, and comedic relief."

"The Performance Factory…where dancing is a way of life. This studio is a place where people learn and advance their dance skills and techniques while making many friends along the way. In my eight years of dancing here I have learned to break out of my quiet shell thanks to the very outgoing personality of Christine MacInally. Her positive attitude and amazing sense of humor is a major part of what keeps me coming back every year. One thing that separates this studio from the rest is that we are able to have fun while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. The level of skill here amazes me and is a true testament to the dedication that Christine has to her studio. This hidden gem of a studio is sure to amaze everyone!"

"The Performance Factory gives a lot more then just an expirience, it also gives friends and family. At TPF, no one is judged based on their ability to dance or the pasion they have for it; we are all one person. We make friends, we learn dance technique, and we have a great time. Every class is filled with laughs and memories. TPF is really more then an hour or so dance class, its something to look forward to and something that will always be remembered. Every year the show gets better and better and the choreography gets more amazing then the previous year all thanks to our wonderful teacher and friend of course, Christine Macinally. (:"

"The Performance Factory is not your typical dance studio. I have been taking classes at TPF for 10 years and I can honestly say that being a part of TPF has changed my life. Christine MacInally, the owner and choreographer for the studio, plays a big part in that. She is not only a brilliant teacher, dancer and choreographer, but she also takes on the role of friend. She makes a point to form real relationships with her students, making their time at TPF more enjoyable and creating a family-like atmosphere. The unique choreography which she creates is unlike anything I have ever seen before and is showcased in our performances. She has the ability to make any dancer at any level standout and shine. TPF and Christine herself have not only helped me grow as a dancer, but also a person, and I am proud to call myself a member of the TPF family." Juliana Roche, 16, Waltham MA
"I love dancing at The Performance Factory. I have been going to the studio since I was in Kindergarten. Christine is an amazing dance teacher who has taught me so much but at the same time makes it fun for all of us. My favorite class was Broadway Babes which combined my two favorite things: singing and dancing. I have learned so much as a dancer and I will continue to discover more with each class." Kristen Antunes, 14, Waltham MA
"The Performance Factory has not only changed the way I sing, dance, and act, but It has also made me more confident with performing. Christine knows how to make a lesson very educational, while you still have a fun time. In the time I have been at The Performance Factory, I have become more professional in my performing arts techniques. Christine has taught me things that I haven’t even known were important in theater and dance. I have also made many friends that are interested in performing arts just like me.. The Performance Factory can make anyone a star!" Hannah B. 13.
"The Performance Factory ran by Christine MaInally has had a huge impact on my life. I started dancing there at age 8 and now I’m currently 15 years old. Starting off I was an extremely shy young girl. Christine herself and all the other children I danced with boosted my confidence better then anyone else could. Christine and I formed a special bond over the years, not only is she my dance teacher but one of my best friends. I started dancing at age 2 but did not really learn how to dance until age 8 when I switched to the performance factory. I started off by learning how to do a proper stretch and shuffle to feeling like I’m dancing on Broadway. If I did not dance at The Performance Factory with such an amazing dance teacher I don’t think my passion for dance would be so strong. Christine has taught me to never give up no matter what. Christine, other dance students, and myself have become one big family. Even when a new student joins they feel comfortable and welcomed into this “family” in no time. I would never trade in this dance studio for anything because the memories and relationships I have formed here will have a special place in my heart forever." Gabi McGrath, 15, Waltham MA
