Recognized as one of the finest classical dancers of our time, Jacques d’Amboise founded National Dance Institute in 1976, in the belief that the arts have a unique power to engage and motivate individuals towards excellence. His contributions in arts education have since earned him numerous awards and honors including The National Medal of Arts, The Kennedy Center Honors, and a 1990 MacArthur Fellowship. Mr. d'Amboise has written and directed for theater, film and television, including the musicals Roberta, Lady in the Dark, Peter Pan, Thurber Carnival, The Shooting of Dan McGrew with Galt McDermott, and the films “Event of the Year” and “Fifth Position.” As a performer, Mr. d'Amboise has appeared on Broadway in the musical Shin Bone Alley, the precursor production to the musical Cats. He has appeared in films including “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” “Carousel,” “The Best Things In Life Are Free,” “Watching Ballet,” the movie version of Balanchine's A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and “Offbeat.” |
