ANNOUNCEMENT (May 2021)
We, at LINES, have reached a final decision deemed most suitable for the standard of our Summer Programs. While California is set to open mid-June, this does not currently translate to fully opening our studios for our Summer Programs. Our Summer Program students and families can rest assured that continuing with our Online Summer Programs will provide dancers with a robust curriculum that encapsulates the LINES approach and philosophy. Read the full announcement.
Will LINES offer Online Summer Programs?
