King is known for his boundary pushing, long-lined, dynamic movement aesthetic which is exemplified in "Scheherazade". In many of his works, King also seeks to “represent global cultures through dance by collaborative ventures with non-Western movement forms.” "Scheherazade" is no different, as exemplified by the very grounded movement, reminiscent of that of some Middle Eastern dance styles, that juxtaposes his typical aesthetic within the ballet. In moments throughout the ballet, non-Western forms can be seen through the rhythm of the movement, as well as the quick level changes from grounded to upright. Especially in ensemble sections with precise hand and footwork.
