“River Pas de Deux” excerpt from Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet

In this excerpt from Alonzo King LINES Ballet's "Deep River," Adji Cissoko and Shuaib Elhassan deliver a poignant duet, "River Pas de Deux," surrounded by their fellow dancers who watch with reverent attention. As they twist and turn in sync with slow, sorrowful notes, their movements reflect a profound connection, each dancer guiding the other through a series of flowing gestures.
