Jacques d'Amboise, the premier New York City Ballet dancer who displayed his energy and athleticism on the big screen in the musicals Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Carousel, has died.

He was 86. D'Amboise died Sunday in his Manhattan home of complications from a stroke, his daughter, actress-dancer Charlotte d'Amboise, told The New York Times.

He spent the past four-plus decades providing free classes to schoolchildren at his New York-based National Dance Institute.

D'Amboise portrayed Ephraim Pontipee (eventual husband of Virginia Gibson's Liza) in MGM's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) and played a Starlight Carnival barker alongside Susan Luckey's Louise in Fox's Carousel (1956).
