Michel François Hoguet

Michel François Hoguet (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl fʁɑ̃swa ɔɡɛ]; 17 June 1793 in Paris – 5 April 1871 in Berlin) was a French ballet dancer, ballet master and choreographer at the Royal Berlin Theater, where he worked from 1817 until 1823 as first solo dancer.

[2] In 1856 he watched the increasing popularity of his younger colleague Paul Taglioni, which was his last act as ballet master, retiring from the stage thereafter.

In 1821 he married the actress and dancer Emilie Caroline Vestris (1801–1869) and had two sons and a daughter, including the solo dancer Louis Hoguet-Vestris (1825–1900) and the actress Mathilde, whose married name was Frey (1833–1878).
