The
Carol Farrell
School of Dancing
For
45 years, the Carol Farrell School of Dancing has brought the joy of
dance into the lives of generations of students throughout Connecticut.
Founded by Carol and Charles Farrell, The Carol Farrell School of
Dancing lives by the motto "To Live is to Dance". Each student, who
enters their studio, learns valuable lessons in dance and in life.

The
Carol Farrell School of Dancing is unique in its training program. All
of their students are required to learn ballet, tap and jazz to provide
them with a well rounded background in the basic dance principles so
from there they will be able to adapt to any dance style. Like Miss
Carol always says, "Once you learn the foundations of dance you can
learn any style of dance". As the styles in dance have changed over the
years, the Farrell's have incorporated those changes into their
curriculum while insisting each student take their core class in
ballet, tap and jazz.
In
the past decade, The Carol Farrell Dancers have performed annually at
Stratford Day, Lake Quazzy, the Milford Oyster Festival, Milford
Children's Fair, the Connecticut Post and many other venues across
Connecticut. Known for their quality of performance and the variety of
music they dance to the Carol Farrell Dancers always draw an
enthusiastic crowd wherever they perform.
Students
from the Carol Farrell School of Dancing all ranging in age from 3 to
18 will be performing a variety of dance styles. It promises to be a
hand clapping foot stomping event you won't want to miss!
