ABOUT JACQUES' WORK
Jacques d’Amboise is a dancer and teacher of ballet, and the founder of the National Dance Institute (NDI) in New York City.
d’Amboise established the NDI in 1976 as a cross-cultural, arts-in-education program that provides children with the opportunity to discover the arts through dance. The Institute conducts dance classes for thousands of students in public schools across the country and presents free performances annually at the Delacorte Theater in New York City’s Central Park. d’Amboise is the co-author of Teaching the Magic of Dance (1984) and has also written and directed for theater, films, television, and musicals. He has also danced in several movies, including Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) and Carousel (1956).
BIOGRAPHY
Beginning in 1946, d’Amboise danced children’s roles with the Ballet Society, the precursor of the New York City Ballet. He joined the corps de ballet in 1949 and was made a principal dancer at age eighteen. In addition to performing, he choreographed some twenty works for the New York City Ballet and performed with the company until 1984. His own ballets include The Chase (1963), Quatuor (1964) and Irish Fantasy (1964).
d’Amboise was Dean of Dance and a professor at the State University of New York at Purchase (1978-80).
d'Amboise于1976年建立了NDI，作为一个跨文化的艺术教育项目，为儿童提供了通过舞蹈发现艺术的机会。 该研究所为全国各地公立学校的数千名学生开设舞蹈课，并每年在纽约市中央公园的德拉科尔特剧院举行免费演出。德安布瓦兹是《舞蹈的魔力》（Teaching the Magic of Dance）（1984年）的合著者，还为戏剧、电影、电视和音乐剧编写和导演。 他还在几部电影中跳舞，包括《七兄弟的七个新娘》（1954）和《旋转木马》（1956）。
