At age 15, Jacques d’Amboise was discovered by George Balanchine, the greatest dance luminary of our time, and invited to join the New York City Ballet.
By 17, d’Amboise was a principal dancer, and Balanchine ultimately choreographed more pieces for him than for any other male lead. Hear the riveting, firsthand account of the choreographers, dancers and ballets that comprise the career of one of America’s most celebrated classical dancers. Then, revel in a demonstration by children from the National Dance Institute, d’Amboise’s award-winning arts and learning program.
