Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet is a company composed of dancers trained in classical ballet technique. The choreography uses recognizable ballet steps, and the women sometimes dance en pointe, but the dances do not conform strictly either to the principles of modern dance or to those of classical ballet. The company is known for its global perspective on dance, and critics often comment on the “new language” or “re-invention of form” evinced by King’s choreography. A number of the company’s dancers have received the Princess Grace Award, which honors extraordinarily talented young performing artists.
