LINES Dance Center
Dance for Every Body. Every Day. Every Week.
ABOUT
Welcome to LINES Dance Center, home to Alonzo King LINES Ballet’s professional company, BFA Program at Dominican University of California, and Summer Program. Each week, we offer open Advanced/Professional ballet classes where community members ages 16+ can train alongside our company dancers Monday through Friday (except in their off-seasons). To sign up for these classes, visit our Schedule Page.
LINES Dance Center is also home to a number of independently run classes hosted by esteemed Bay Area teachers. To sign up for one of these classes, contact the teacher directly.
TEACHER-LED CLASSES
As of July 1, LINES Dance Center transitioned to a new model where teachers rent studio space independently, enabling them to set prices, registration methods, and payment options. To learn more about your favorite teachers and their classes, visit the profile pages below.
STUDIO RENTALS
With wide open spaces and gorgeous floor-length windows, our studios are also an excellent place to host your upcoming auditions, rehearsals, or photo shoots. Visit our Studio Rentals page or Touring Companies & Producers’ Rentals page for more information.
POLICIES
The following policies apply to all Advanced/Professional Ballet Classes, but do not necessarily apply to other classes hosted independently at LINES Dance Center. For all teacher-led classes, please contact the instructor directly to inquire about their policies. Teachers’ contact information can be found on their individual bio pages.
Timeliness
Please arrive on time for classes; Latecomers will not be accommodated.
Dress Code
LINES does not have an official dress code, but we suggest that you wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and do not restrict you. Avoid clothes that are too loose, as they will make it difficult for the teacher to give you accurate feedback.
Class Placement
Class placement is at the discretion of our instructors to ensure the safety of all students. Your skill level may be assessed and recommendations made.
COVID-19 Vaccination
All of LINES Ballet’s onsite staff and Advanced/Professional Ballet Class teachers are fully vaccinated, but COVID-19 vaccination is not required for students to attend class.
