Reading, discussion and booksigning with National Dance Institute Director Jacques D'Amboise, author of I Was a Dancer & Jennifer Homans, author of Apollo's Angels: History of Dance. Mr. D'Amboise has been recognized as one of the finest classical dancers of our time. He now leads the field of arts education with a model program that exposes thousands of school children to the magic and discipline of dance. In 1976, while still a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet, Mr. d'Amboise founded National Dance Institute in the belief that the arts have a unique power to engage and motivate individuals towards excellence.

"...an important and original work of cultural history, New Republic dance critic Jennifer Homans places ballet--an art often viewed as hermetic and esoteric--in the larger context of the times and societies in which it evolved, flourished, and flagged, only to be revitalized by an infusion of fresh ideas."
