World Ballet Day, November 1st, 2023

In honor of World Ballet Day, we talked with company dancers Adji Cissoko and Shuaib Elhassan at YBCA's Blue Shield of California Theater. Watch as they discuss working with Alonzo King, growing as artists, and performing the ballet "Deep River," a piece created with frequent LINES collaborator Lisa Fischer, that begins its domestic tour this week and its international tour later this month. Enjoy excerpts from this gorgeous work as our dancers share their reflections from years with LINES Ballet.

There is nobody like Alonzo King. I am so grateful to live in SF with this amazing man and his company and dancers. So much respect and love for Mr. King. Thank you for all you create for us, the beauty and grace and honesty you bring into our lives.
