(NEW HOPE, PA) -- This October, dare to enter the darkness of Dracula's Lair Haunted House, presented by Roxey Ballet and sponsored by the VAMPA Museum. Audiences are invited to wander through chilling vignettes, eerie dances, and spine-tingling encounters that bring Dracula's world to life like never before.
Perfect for thrill-seekers, Dracula’s Lair is not your typical haunted house. Guests will step into an immersive experience where gothic storytelling and hauntingly beautiful choreography intertwine, creating a night of unforgettable fright and artistry. While Roxey Ballet is known for its outstanding dance performances, like The Nutcracker which opens Thanksgiving weekend, this is not your typical ballet experience!
"Dracula is a timeless story that speaks to the mystery, allure, and danger at the heart of vampire lore," said Edmondo Crimi, founder of VAMPA. "Partnering with the Roxey Ballet allows us to bring that story to life in a breathtaking way. This production will be an unforgettable experience that fuses movement, atmosphere, and the enduring fascination with the world of the undead.”
Along the way, visitors can enjoy blood-boiling concessions, capture unforgettable memories at themed photo ops, and rest assured that this is a no-touch experience—the chills will come from the shadows, not from unwanted surprises.
Dracula's Lair Haunted House runs October 24th, 25th, 31st, November 1st with tours at 7:30pm, 8:30pm, and 9:30pm. Mill Ballet School is located at 46 N Sugan Road in New Hope, PA. Located at Roxey Ballet’s home theater, the space is ADA accessible, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this haunting adventure. Tickets are limited—reserve your spot before the shadows claim them all!
The Roxey Ballet began in 1995 as the Hunterdon Youth Ballet when professional dancers, Mark and Melissa Roxey, brought world-class professional dance training and performance opportunities to Hunterdon County, New Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Mark and Melissa both had distinguished careers with American dance companies including The Joffrey Ballet, American Repertory Ballet, and Dayton Ballet, among others.
As the regional youth ballet company began to grow, the trustees of the Hunterdon County Youth Ballet changed its name to The Roxey Ballet Company, Inc to reflect its clear direction and development into an outstanding touring professional dance company with a superb roster of internationally recognized artists from all over the world. Today audiences enjoy more than 70 repertory works and a wide range of full-length ballets.
The company has performed extensively around the country including New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Washington DC for the 2008 Inauguration of President Obama. The company is currently experiencing a major transition in its life cycle and is committed to procuring high-quality artists and original repertory works from emerging and established choreographers.
The Roxey Ballet's typical season includes performances from September through June of each year, including a Fall main-stage concert, the holiday classic production of The Nutcracker, a Winter event, and Children's Classic Stories spring productions. The remainder of the season is spent conducting a variety of services and concerts, from educational performances, workshops, and residencies, to master classes and touring.
The Mill Ballet School is the official school of Roxey Ballet.
