Correction/Clarification: (Published July 6, 2011) A story Sunday about a summer intensive to be held at the Academy of Dance by Lori did not reflect a recent change in teachers. Former Moscow Ballet soloist Tatyana Makarova, founder of Cincinnati Dance Academy, will replace fellow Moscow Ballet member Svetlana Todinova.
