LINES Ballet in Palm Desert

LINES Ballet in Palm Desert at McCallum Theatre. Join our LINES Ballet company dancers in Palm Desert, CA performing at the McCallum Theatre. Grounded on more than 40 years of thought-provoking dance, master choreographer Alonzo King’s unique artistic vision honors and advances the classical form—the linear, mathematical, and geometrical principles deeply rooted in the East-West continuum. PROGRAM Alonzo King LINES Ballet is pleased to present LEGACY, a meditation on lineage, memory, and the unseen forces that shape who we are, featuring choreography by Alonzo King and an original score by Grammy Award-winning musician, bassist, and vocalist esperanza spalding. Upon its sold-out premiere in 26, the San Francisco Chronicle hailed LEGACY as “a rare kind of magic…that leaves a sense of compositional just-rightness,” while Critical Dance described the dancers of LINES Ballet as “technically astonishing” with “an air of exquisite elegance.” Intimate yet expansive, LEGACY offers audiences a deeply human experience of connection, continuity, and home. The program will also feature Alonzo King’s critically acclaimed Ode to Alice Coltrane, which has thrilled audiences around the world. King has been mesmerized by Alice Coltrane’s music since he was a child—he choreographed one of his very first pieces to her composition. He later returned to her body of work to create this ballet as part of “The Year of Alice” in 2024, a nationwide tribute to her legacy that included performances and exhibits by LINES Ballet, Impulse!
