NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York City Ballet star Sean Lavery, whose dancing career was cut short when he was diagnosed with a spinal tumor, has died at age 61.

Lavery, who was one of the company’s most prolific male dancers until he was forced to stop dancing in the late ’80s at age 30, went on to serve the company as ballet master, coach and administrator for more than two decades, also serving as a right-hand man to NYCB head Peter Martins. He retired in 2011.

Lavery died on Monday in Palm Springs, California, after a brief illness, said his sister, Anne Alsedek. “He had been ill a short time,” she said. “It happened quickly and peacefully.”

As a dancer, Lavery originated or starred in roles from a wide swath of the company’s repertoire, especially in works by George Balanchine (“Apollo,” “Concerto Barocco,” “Jewels,” and “Symphony in C,” among others) or Jerome Robbins (“Afternoon of a Faun,” “Dances at a Gathering,” “Other Dances.”)

“His size, his proportions, are quite wonderful,” Robbins told the New York Times in 1987. “He has a very elegant line, but it is a very human line.”

Robbins called Lavery “tireless and without fear.”

Sidelined by his devastating diagnosis, Lavery went through surgery and rehabilitation and then returned to the company, not as a dancer but as a teacher and administrator.
