1 Roxey Ballet s Educational Outreach Programming

2 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Celebrating Diversity is our signature anti-bulling assembly program and the recipient of the NJ Governor's Award for Artistic Excellence. This performance showcases that being different is natural and we should embrace the differences among all people. Roxey Ballet uses many forms of contemporary dance, music, and monologues to tell stories about disabilities, racial, religious, and ethnic diversity and the need of people to be tolerant and accepting of such differences. Celebrating Diversity meets the NJ Core Curriculum Standards for the Arts. A study guide for grades K-12 accompanies each program. Roxey Repertoire Roxey Ballet can bring a full company performance of current repertoire to your location. This artistically engaging experience will include the performance, a question and answer session with the dancers, and the opportunity for students to experience dance.
