The Studio Dancers, ranging in age from 12 to 17, study ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary and clogging at The Studio for Dance in Cincinnati. Under the direction of Shari Poff and choreographed by Della Lehane, these enthusiastic young people continue to win local and national dance competitions and are often named “Most Entertaining Performers.”

The Studio for Dance has performed with the Cincinnati Pops under the direction of Erich Kunzel and John Morris Russell at Music Hall and at Riverbend for the past 34 years, including for two televised productions for PBS and for an appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York. They have also performed with the Hilton Head Symphony, May Festival Chorus, Blue Ash/Hamilton Symphony, Lima Symphony, and the Windsor Symphony and Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, both in Ontario, Canada.
