"It was a wonderful holiday performance," said Cooperstown Ballet owner Alma Curtis. "Everyone enjoyed the show. The ballet students certainly love to perform, especially in front of a lovely audience at the Thanksgiving Home," added Curtis. There were three ballet numbers, as well as poetry reading and a solo performance by Michelle Brockway, according to Curtis. Curtis purchased the business in July, because if she hadn't, it would probably not exist. Curtis said the dance school had been for sale for about a month before she bought it. By the end of June, nobody was trying to buy the dance school, and it was going to shut down, according to Curtis. The Cooperstown Ballet currently holds its classes at the Brookwood School, a nonprofit independent preand elementary school located three miles from Cooperstown. However, Curtis said she has taken a lease out on a space located at 103 Main St. in Cooperstown on the third floor above Key Bank. She said classes will start there on Jan. 1, and there will be an open house after the holidays for everyone to attend.
