He Makes Me Feel Like Dancing

I stumbled across this today... "He Makes Me Feel Like Dancing," featuring Jacques d'Amboise.

I remember seeing it on TV many, many years ago. Such a fun and inspiring documentary about one of the great dancers/choreographers/teachers in American ballet. Sadly, he passed away in 2020, but I hope his dance program and inspirational spirit live on.

Winner of the 1984 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, this uplifting film captures the joy with which world-famous ballet dancer Jacques d'Amboise cheered on 1,000 NYC students as part of the National Dance Institute. Appearances by choreographers Peter Gennaro and George Balanchine, actors Chita Rivera and Kevin Kline, dancers Christopher d'Amboise and Janet Eilber and singer Judy Collins.
