From the reviews
There is a distinct, electric energy that fills a theater during a year-end dance showcase, and the Drouin Dance Center’s 2026 recital, "Let the Good Times Roll," delivered exactly what its title promised.
Nice Auditorium. Saw my granddaughter Nevaeh's first recital here. Seating was comfortable. Stage was easy to view. The only negative was that it was very hot and humid inside. Before the recital started and during intermission, they opened the doors to the outside to cool it down and it was nice then.
Great venue for dance competitions. The organizational aspect of things leave something to be desired and there were some temperature complaints (too hot inside) from the dancers but we've been to numerous dance competitions here and they've always gone well.
It is a nice venue to attend a concert. The acoustics are great. I have also attended a Taste of Home Cooking School at that location. I believe part of the Westbrook Middle School has classes there. There are lots of rooms there. It is huge. Very clean.
Your first ballet class at Westbrook Performing Arts Center
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
