Ballet troupe plans Springboro move
The Gem City Ballet and Pontecorvo Ballet School, which have been located at 534 E. First St. (across from Fifth Third Field) are exploring a move from downtown Dayton to Springboro.
“We would like to go,” said school and company founder-director Barbara Pontecorvo, who said her organization has made a bid on a building in Springboro that has the potential “for three studios, two of which could be joined for performances with room for up to 150 seats.”
That offer is contingent on the current Dayton location being sold. “We have had an offer on our building. That is contingent on the buyer selling his current location.”
Gem City Ballet, a pre-professional company that has won regional honors, produces an annual performance at the Victoria Theatre and has sent several dancers on to professional companies, is performing Saturday, Feb. 6, at Bellbrook High School, 3737 Upper Bellbrook Road.
The “Three’s Company” program will also include two visiting troupes — Michigan Classic Ballet from Detroit and DanceWest Ballet Company of Chicago, which is co-directed by former Dayton Ballet member Ricardo Moyano.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children under 12. For more information, call (937) 222-6880. Tickets will also be sold at the door.
