I was a student of Miss Carol and also Mr. Farrell in the early 70s (ballet, jazz, and tap). Not only were they good and kind teachers, but they helped instill a confidence in many young, shy girls. We learned grace while having fun. My condolences to her family.
RIP Miss Carol. May you keep dancing.

When I was in Wooster Middle School in 7th grade, in 1967, Mrs. and Mr. Farrel would come to our gym on Tuesday evenings and teach some of us how to dance. I thought they were the most graceful dancers I had ever seen. I learned how to ballroom dance from them and still dance, albeit at home by myself or sometimes even in the aisles in the grocery stores. Thank you Mrs. and Mr. Farrell for teaching me something I have used all my life. Here's hoping you are doing a fox trot in Heaven with each other. May you RIP.
