Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet, an international touring company based in San Francisco, performs unique contemporary ballets created by Alonzo King. Established 26 years ago, LINES Ballet continues to receive acclaim for Alonzo King’s visionary choreography, and for the extraordinary quality of its dancers. Six years ago, the LINES Ballet School and Pre-Professional Program were established, in order to develop the potential of young dancers. LINES Ballet continues its commitment to dance education and community involvement through the San Francisco Dance Center, now one of the largest dance facilities on the West Coast. In Fall 2006, LINES Ballet embarked on a partnership with the Dominican University of California, inaugurating the Joint BFA Program in Dance, the only Joint BFA program in the country to be led by an active, world-renowned choreographer.
