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 Miss Boogaart has experience as a teacher and that her experience as a dancer and performer adds to her artistic panoply.  I am sure that she will be able to bring to the students of Paris an authentic Graham technique as well as an open mind on the possibilities it brings. »
