Jacques d’Amboise was such a wonderful dancer, and he has done so much for young people through his dance institute. In addition, he is an absolutely delightful storyteller. This charming man has written a thoroughly fascinating book, filled with his history, his humor, and his passion and energy for life. Loved it!
Interesting but more a biography of Balanchine that of Jacques d'Amboise
