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.
