Christopher d'Amboise

Currently, d'Amboise teaches dance at George Mason University and has been teaching unique curricula for aspiring professional dancers and choreographers, including Moving Story and other master's level classes. Conceived by d'Amboise prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, d'Amboise and the university launched the LIVE Center (also known as The Center for Live Interactive Virtual Education) in late 2020, during the height of the US COVID-19 resurgence, further uniting location-disparate and socially-distanced dancers and masters.

Chris married a fellow dancer, Kelly Crandall, in late summer of 2008. His sister Charlotte d'Amboise is also a professional dancer.

In 2007, d'Amboise wrote, directed, and choreographed The Studio, a "play with dance" about a Manhattan-based choreographer with a public image larger than life, for South Coast Repertory.

From 1990-94, d'Amboise was the Artistic Director, President, and CEO of the Pennsylvania Ballet, where he presented classic repertoire as well as introduced new works by contemporary choreographers.

Born and raised in New York City, the son of dancers Jacques d'Amboise and Carolyn George, d'Amboise became a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet, where he worked closely with George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, dancing all the major roles as well as originating several new works. He quit the company in 1983 to pursue other interests, including the Broadway production of Song and Dance, which earned him a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for a role in which he only danced.

Christopher d'Amboise (born 1960) is an American danseur, choreographer, writer, and theatre director.
