Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a celebrated contemporary dance company that has been guided since 1982 by the unique artistic vision of Alonzo King. The ballet has collaborated with noted composers, musicians, and visual artists from around the world. In addition to their performances, Alonzo King LINES Ballet also is a non-profit that supports the futures of dancers by demonstrating a commitment to them throughout their entire lives. They do this through outreach, mentorship, employment, consistent physical therapy, medical care to prevent long-term injuries, and further education that offers additional career possibilities. This is a unique and revolutionary philanthropic outreach for ballet as they are dedicated to giving dancers the tools and opportunities to help them throughout their lives as dancers careers often end anywhere between the ages of 30 and 40.
