Testimonies of dance personalities

Peter Sparling, former principal dancer of the Martha Graham Dance Company and Professor-Dean of the University of Michigan:

"What a pleasure to come to class from Maggie Boogaart, a teacher who brings new life to the technique and can inspire in her students a sense of excitement while demanding the rigor that is so essential to the process of learning such a demanding technique!"

 

Virginie Mécène, former principal dancer of the Martha Graham Company, Director of the Martha Graham School and the Martha Graham Company II:

"Miss Boogaart has experience with repertoire Graham which she learned in workshops at repertoire during her training at the school from 1994 to 1997. During these years she studied with renowned teachers: Pearl Lang, Stuart Hodes, Jacqueline Buglisi, Terese Capucilli, Christine Dakin, Armgard von Bardeleben, Elizabeth Auclair, Kenneth Topping. I can assure you that Ms. Boogaart has experience as a teacher and that her experience as a dancer and performer adds to her artistic range. I am confident that she will be able to bring authentic Graham technique and an open mind to the possibilities that it brings to the students in Paris."
