LINES Ballet Training Program
The LINES Ballet Training Program is a year-round training experience for young professional and pre-professional dancers ages 17-24. The program is designed as a one- or two-year program that cultivates strong, well-trained and diversely educated artists. Each year provides approximately 35 weeks of training, divided into two semesters. Artists invited into the program immerse themselves in a core training of Ballet, Pointe & Variations, Men’s Class, Modern, GYROTONIC®, and LINES Repertoire with an enriched curriculum that includes Improvisation, Music, Jazz, Nutrition, Anatomy and World Dance. Training Program participants work with a world-class faculty that includes past and present LINES Ballet company members, a diverse mix of Bay Area artists and visiting master teachers from around the world. These young artists work with established and emerging choreographers on the creation and presentation of new work and are given the unique opportunity to explore and develop their own choreography. The LINES Ballet philosophy fosters the application of these experiences and techniques in balance with the value of each individual’s inherent gifts of intelligence, self-expression and virtue. The LINES Ballet Training Program focuses on an ultimate goal of continually realizing and achieving the full range of artistic potential while pursuing a professional career.
