Alonzo King LINES Ballet Community Programs provides a rich space for students to learn: dance concepts, experiment and improvise with movement, develop their own ideas through the choreographic process and a foundational entry point into the world of dance!
Community Programs partnerships in-school settings invite students to utilize critical thinking skills, build confidence, and develop a deeper sense of self and social proficiencies through collaboration and movement-based learning. Our programming is founded on our Community Programs HeArt with LINES in-school curriculum, designed to connect the philosophy and approach of Alonzo King to the everyday experience of students, youth and families in the Bay Area.
