NJ Ballad is a signature performance by Roxey Ballet Company that celebrates the history, spirit, and resilience of New Jersey. Blending classical and contemporary dance, this dynamic work weaves together stories inspired by the state’s people, landscapes, and shared experiences—using expressive choreography to honor New Jersey’s cultural heritage and connect communities through movement.

​

At the heart of NJ Ballad is the historic moment of George Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware, a pivotal event that took place on New Jersey soil and helped shape the future of our nation. As the country approaches America’s 250th birthday, NJ Ballad offers a powerful and timely reflection on the courage, perseverance, and unity that continue to define both New Jersey and the American spirit.

​

Designed to be highly adaptable, NJ Ballad can be performed in a wide variety of settings, including school assemblies, outdoor venues, libraries, senior living facilities, community spaces, and local businesses. Each performance can be customized to fit your venue, audience, and conceptual goals, ensuring an engaging and accessible experience wherever it is presented.

We invite you to collaborate with us to develop a custom NJ Ballad program tailored to your organization’s needs.

To deepen the experience, performances may include a post-performance Q&A with Roxey Ballet’s professional dancers, offering audiences insight into the life of a professional artist. Historical context can also be woven into the performance through guided narration, enhancing educational value and audience connection.
