Jacqueline Moreau

Jacqueline Moreau (1926–2018) was a French ballerina and ballet teacher. From the age of nine, she attended the Paris Opera Ballet School, training under Carlotta Zambelli. She performed with the Paris Opera Ballet from 1942, soon gaining the rank of première danseuse but left in 1951 when she realized she would not be ranked a danseuse étoile. From 1953 to 1959, she was a star performer at the International Ballet of the Marquis de Cuevas based in Monte-Carlo. For the remainder of her career, she taught first at the Paris Opera Ballet School and then at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory until her retirement in 1990.
