How wonderful this was to see. I was a student of Andrea Karlsen and Paul Maure from 1962-9 and would return from Houston Ballet and San Francisco Ballet to study with them and perform in their company, "Ballet des Arts". It is so important to interview all these dance icons and Mr. Maure does so well in imparting his memories to these films. I am 60 years old now and I am still the person that was formed by Andrea Karlsen and Paul Maure. Always, in gratitude....
