Quotes from Jacques d'Amboise

You can dance anywhere and you can dance in your mind, in your heart.

So, I think I would say, enjoy the process of learning to dance. The process of our profession, and not its final achievement, is the heart and soul of dance.

Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement,in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.

Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythym of your life.

Before I was through my teens, I had been introduced and exposed to artists who would, in later years, become legendary.

Who am I? I'm a man; an American, a father, a teacher, but most of all, I am a person who knows how the arts can change lives, because they transformed mine. I was a dancer.

If I had to reflect on the finest classical male ballet dancers of my time, Vladimir Vasiliev of the Bolshoi and the Danish dancer Eric Bruhn were, I feel, without peer.

I didn't know if I could act, but I knew I could be a great ballet dancer, and Balanchine put out the carpet for me.

A wild, untamed youth learns nobility through art.
