Ballet
Classical ballet is the mainstay and technical foundation of Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Students will learn the very basics of ballet in a highly personalized and non-intimidating atmosphere. Body stance, body placement, musicality, and terminology will be emphasized, and students will explore ballet-based creative storytelling and pantomime.

Kids will learn the basics of Ballet including the five positions and barre-like exercises for building strength, while exploring ballet-based creative storytelling and pantomime.
Ballet II (8-12 year olds)
This class will build on the basics of Ballet, including the five positions and barre-like exercises for building strength, while developing choreographic skills to learn and rework famous ballet variations.

Routines are a combination of both smooth and sharp movement, playing with the dynamic of both to create interesting and unique routines that blend together different styles of hip hop.
