HeART with LINES: Humility, Emotion, Artistry, Truth.

A HeARTfelt Message from our Teaching Artists

As the 2020-2021 academic year comes to a close, we want to shout out an enormous “THANK YOU” to our HeART with LINES school partners.

Like all of LINES Ballet’s education programs, our HeART with LINES in-school residencies were conducted entirely online this year, reaching approximately 325 Pre-K – 8th grade students across nine Bay Area public schools each week during the past spring semester. We recognize that it has been a uniquely challenging year for teachers and we thank our partners for continuing to provide dance learning as a valued experience for their students. We are so proud of what we have accomplished virtually this year!

Please enjoy this brief video message of gratitude from our HeART with LINES teaching artists:
