I look forward to Christina’s class not only for the great workout, but for the sense of playfulness that she brings to our movements! Her approach to teaching, as well as the variety of moves she features in class, encourages me to have fun with my body, try new things, and not take myself too seriously. I love when her cat makes a guest appearance too. Thanks, Christina!

On arriving at the LINES building we were treated to an insider's view of the space where the dancers rehearse and train. We joined in a Pilates session (just for us visitors) led by a professional teacher and dancer who lavished individual attention on us. This was helpful to me as I had never tried Pilates before :) Then we made our way to the main event - floor side seats watching the company rehearse for a forthcoming production. We were seated along the edge of the small rehearsal room, just feet away from the dancers as they went through the piece. On the day we visited we watched a dancer new to this piece learning and chaining all the moves. It was magical to see her memorize the choreography and become integrated into the ensemble and the piece. It was truly a treat just to be there and watch the dancers up close. It was a fantastically special and rewarding afternoon, and a ballet-lover's dream. Special thanks to our host Fleur who had prepared an information packet for us and gave us each a free copy of a beautiful coffee-table book featuring action photography of the company. Highly recommended experience.

I really enjoyed my experience at Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet. Fleur gave a great introduction to the company and I got a surprise gift. The Pilates class taught by Christina (who is so knowledgeable and attentive to us students) got me moving and ready for the highlight of the afternoon - namely watching some company dancers rehearse a piece. It was exhilarating, absorbing, unique. Being so close to the dancers made for a very different way of seeing ballet and an unforgettable highlight of my trip to San Francisco .

I had the best time on this experience! As a former ballerina, it was amazing to get back to my roots and re-immerse myself in the ballet world. Heather, who accompanied me, was so kind and gave an amazing tour of LINES, as well as the history. Plus, the Pilates class with Christina was amazing- I'm still so sore, two days later! She was really good about teaching the anatomical side of Pilates as well as the technical. Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful day, and I can't wait to go back and take some more classes at LINES ballet. (This experience was c/o AirBnB. All opinions are my own.)
