De La Dance Company

"We love De La Dance Center! Our daughter has blossomed there thanks to the caring and supportive staff, kind classmates, and incredible performance opportunities. Meridith and Mario have created a family-oriented dance community that promotes mentorship, growth, and artistic expression that is unparalleled in Cincinnati."

"De La Dance is an amazing studio. We were referred to De La from a friend, and we feel so lucky to have landed here. Our daughter started dancing at De La 6 years ago now, starting in their Dance Fundamentals class. Her teachers from day one have been top notch. The beginning classes are perfect for new dancers - they are fun, lighthearted, and provide excellent basics to go forward. They truly foster a love of dance! As my daughter has progressed, her growth has been amazing to watch. Each teacher has poured their heart and soul into my daughter's dance education. As she becomes more advanced (she's now on pointe), her technique has truly become more refined, thanks to her wonderful (and highly skilled) teachers. Their pedigree is second to none, and she gets compliments from outside observers all the time on her technique. They have managed to grow her love of dance while perfecting her technique at the highest levels. She is truly in her element when she dances, and I know that De La has fostered that love and made her a phenomenal dancer. We are so grateful to De La for giving our daughter space to grow her passion!"

"We have had a fantastic experience at De La Dance! This will be my daughter's 3rd year at the academy. She is is motivated to learn and grow here and the teachers are very committed to the dancers."

"My two daughters love De La Dance and the family that runs it! The studio is like a second home to my 10yo who has danced there since she was 4. The instructors are top class and really care about the total development of the student. The De La Dance Company performances are amazing too, and my daughters LOVE being in their version of the Nutcracker and all the other productions!"

"De La offers the best in terms of expertise in teaching and the craft of ballet. Their massive combined experience cannot be matched. In addition, students have the opportunity to dance in real full length productions as opposed to just recitals. This gives young dancers a true glimpse into the world of ballet and an appreciation for the beauty that comes with it. They have amazing instructors for all levels- from toddlers up through the professional company. I could not recommend this studio more highly!"
