Alonzo King LINES Ballet
The Verdict
"Live music is central here. King has brought in collaborators like Zakir Hussain and Pharoah Sanders as equal partners on stage, not guests."
What you need to know
Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a contemporary ballet company founded by choreographer Alonzo King, based in SoMa alongside the LINES Ballet School.
What to Expect
King’s choreography uses classical ballet technique as a foundation but his work is contemporary in form. Performances often feature live music by collaborators from outside the Western classical tradition; past collaborators include Pharoah Sanders, Zakir Hussain, and Edgar Meyer. The company is small, around 12 dancers, and performs at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, and other Bay Area theaters.
Getting There
The SoMa studio is near Civic Center BART. Performance venues vary, so check the specific theater when you buy tickets.
