The Jacques d’Amboise Legacy Fund has been established to support artistic endeavors that honor his vision, creativity, and commitment to arts education. The d’Amboise Family asks that all donations in memory of Jacques be made to his beloved National Dance Institute, nationaldance.org.
Mr. d’Amboise was one of the most influential dancers of the 20th Century. He joined New York City Ballet in 1949 and performed until his retirement in 1984. As George Balanchine’s protégé, Mr. d’Amboise had more works choreographed specifically for him than any other dancer. He is most remembered for his portrayal of “Apollo,” the oldest Balanchine ballet in New York City Ballet’s repertory. While still a principal dancer, Mr. d’Amboise established National Dance Institute in 1976. He led the field of arts education with NDI’s acclaimed program that teaches the magic, rigor and joy of dance and performing. Since its founding, NDI has reached more than two million children worldwide.
New York City Center is operating a fully vaccinated venue, and all audiences must provide proof of COVID vaccination. Masks are required.
