His performances (400 of them) as “The Swan” in Carmina Burana were acclaimed all over the world.

In the summers of 1976-77-78, working with Balanchine at New York City Ballet and Bob Fosse in New York gave Jacques a tremendous knowledge of dance and versatility.  For les Grands Ballets St-Cyr danced a few Balanchine masterpieces such as: Concerto Barocco, Serenade, 4 Temperaments, Themes and Variations, Allegro Brillante, Rubies. 

St-Cyr also worked with John Butler, Anton Dolin, Maurice Bejart, Lar Lubovich, Ronald Hynd, Brian Macdonald, Fernand Nault, Paul Taylor, Jose Limon.

He gave many master classes: University of Wyoming, Quorum Ballet in Portugal, Marie Chouinard Dance Company, just to name a few.

Jacques has done many choreographies but it was a pas de deux for Louis Robitaille et Anik Bissonnette that set him to take a new direction in his choreographic approach.

The two last ballets are relating to the strength of great women or mythological themes about women.
