Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet makes its vibrant arts facility available to the public through The San Francisco Dance Center which offers an extensive series of open classes and studio rentals. LINES also offers formal training programs through LINES Ballet School and the LINES/Dominican BFA Program.

The Dance Center offers more than 100 classes a week for adult dancers who want to challenge and inspire themselves through dance. These classes are taught by professional teachers and choreographers and are offered at many different levels and in many different dance forms. Both new students and professionals will find classes that hone their skills as dancers and foster their growth as artists. More than 600 dancers have become members of the Dance Center and train extensively through these classes.

The Center has six professionally equipped studios that are available for rental for rehearsals and classes. Located in the heart of San Francisco, its beautiful and spacious studios have become the home for many San Francisco-based companies and the home away from home for touring shows. The work being created at the Center is highlighted on the SFDC Community News page.
