Jacques d’Amboise, who became one of the world’s premier classical dancers at New York City Ballet, having grown up on the city’s streets, and spent the last four and a half decades providing free dance classes to the city’s young people at his National Dance Institute, has died aged  86.
His death was confirmed by Ellen Weinstein, director of the institute. She said the dancer and teacher had died on Sunday at his home from complications of a stroke. He was surrounded by his family.
Plucked for stardom at NYCB as a teenager by its legendary director, George Balanchine, d’Amboise performed with the company for about 35 years before retiring, just before turning 50, in the early 80s.
