About
Guided by the groundbreaking vision of Alonzo King, one of the most influential pioneers of contemporary ballet, the LINES Ballet Summer Program invites ballet and contemporary dancers to explore the limitless potential of movement and artistry in beautiful San Francisco.
With three sessions specifically designed for dancers ages 11–25, our Junior, Advanced, and Pre-Professional programs nurture excellence at every stage of dance training. Each intensive session deepens your technique while encouraging you to test your limits, break conventions, and uncover your authentic artistic voice.
Rooted in King’s philosophy that dance is a profound act of discovery—connecting mind, body, and spirit—the LINES Ballet Summer Program is an immersive experience in a positive, inclusive, and encouraging environment, focusing on students’ dreams, goals, and aspirations. You’ll train with LINES artists, renowned guests, and choreographers who embody King’s belief in the dancer as both scientist and poet: precise, expressive, and unafraid to take risks.
Immerse yourself in the LINES philosophy: to dance is to awaken empathy, joy, and transcendence. This summer, don’t just train—transform.
