Carla Prucnal Passes Away at 74 1:46 am
Johnstown lost a Legend this month. Carla Prucnal was the Artistic Director for the Johnstown Concert Ballet for over 50 years. She passed away at the age of 74 last week. Dancers from all over the World are grieving her loss. We spoke with some of those Dancers to see what she meant to them and learn about Carla’s legacy in Johnstown.
Wearing dangly earrings and black from head to toe and holding a thermos full of coffee in her hand, Carla Prucnal is described as a small woman with a large force. She created the Johnstown Concert Ballet over 50 years ago and died this month at the age of 74 to COVID-19 complications. Former Dancers have been paying their respects to Carla, one with a final reverence outside the studio doors.
