▌ Editor's read The Alonzo King LINES Ballet Summer Program, part of the LINES Ballet organization, offers advanced ballet training for dancers aged 11-24. The program is a day camp, running for multiple weeks, with options for 3-week or 5-week sessions. LINES Ballet, founded by Alonzo King, has been operating for 40 years as a non-profit organization. While the specific summer program does not have a separate Google review profile, the LINES Ballet organization has a 4.8-star rating from over 100 Google reviews, with reviewers frequently praising the high quality of instruction and the inspiring environment. The website mentions a commitment to student safety and well-being, but does not explicitly state that staff undergo background checks.

The camp is not accredited by the ACA, and no state licensing information is provided on the website.

Alonzo King LINES Ballet Summer Program - Advanced serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in dance, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
