Carol Sereda

Teacher

Carol Sereda fell in love with ballet under the direction of her home teacher Pat MuCusker in Clark, N.J. It was there that she trained and performed as a soloist in the New Jersey Dance Theater Guild with Julliard’s ballet master, Alfredo Corvino.  

Ms. Sereda then dove into Horton and Graham technique as scholarship student at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This launched her career as a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer and realizing that her early years of ballet training gave her the ability to expertly execute new and extreme ranges of vocabulary. 

After dancing in New York, Philadelphia, Portugal and England she permanently relocated to Boston to attend the Harvard/Radcliff Summer Dance program. In Boston she produced works at Mobius, CMAC, The Dance Complex, and performed with the BU Dance Collective, Peter Dimuro, and Paula Josa-Jones. Ms. Sereda taught for the Walnut Hill School of Performing Arts and Boston Ballet Schools where she developed her comprehensive children’s syllabus for ages 3 to 8 uniquely incorporating American Sign Language.  

Carol is thrilled to return to her ballet roots actively continuing her teacher training at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and most recently using the Royal Academy of Dance pedagogy. As a teacher, Ms. Sereda pulls from each syllabus to help her dancers understand how to turn raw material into a solid technical form.  She is honored to be joining The House of Dance faculty to guide their students to express themselves personally, convey ranges of emotion on stage and/or to consider pursuing their dreams of dance professionally.
