Carole's lifelong passion for ballet began at the age of eleven when she successfully auditioned for the Royal Ballet School in London. She trained at the Junior School for five years before moving on to the Senior School for another three years. During her training, Carole had the opportunity to perform in various student and regular performances of The Royal Ballet Company and the Opera Ballet at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.
Carole's career led her to Sadler’s Wells Opera Ballet, where she toured the British Isles and Europe for three years. Eventually settling in Australia after her marriage, Carole performed on television and with the Australian Ballet. She began her teaching career under the guidance of Miss Valrene Tweedie O. M and later opened the Carolan School of Ballet in February 1973 in Adelaide.
Carole obtained her teaching qualifications, became an examiner, and has examined and taught throughout Australia and internationally.
