She started teaching dance in 1980, and has specialized in dance with younger students for the past fourteen years. Carol teaches for Boston Ballet in their Boston and MetroWest locations and has set up dance programs for pre-schoolers at the All Newton Music School, The Newton Arts Center, Walnut Hill School and TCAN.
