Juan Ugarte

I studied with both Michael and Victor. Victor was my first teacher. At that time he had a studio in Carlsbad, Ca. I later studied with Micheal when he had his studio in L.A., I had many a great time after rehearsal sitting around the pool with Micheal and Lila Zali at her studio in Laguna beach (Ballet Pacifica) There was a teacher named Paul Maure who taught there and was recently honored along with Victor because of the recent Ballet Russe film.
