Roxey Ballet Opens Its Doors to Young Dancers for a Magical Journey Into the Jungle

As the new year approaches, families in our region have a special opportunity to watch their young dancers step into a world of imagination, courage, and timeless storytelling. Roxey Ballet is inviting children ages 4 and up to audition for its beloved Children’s Classic Story Ballet, Mowgli’s Jungle Adventure, a vibrant production that blends professional artistry with the wonder of childhood creativity.

This isn’t just another dance audition—it’s an invitation into a story that has captivated generations. Based on Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale, the ballet brings the jungle to life with colorful characters, expressive movement, and themes that resonate deeply with young performers and audiences alike. At its heart, Mowgli is a story about bravery, growth, and discovering who you are—messages that feel especially meaningful for children finding their own voices both on and off the stage.

Artistic Director Mark Roxey often speaks about the emotional power of the ballet’s final moments. In the closing scene, Mowgli makes the courageous choice to leave the jungle and step into the unknown world of man. It’s a moment that beautifully mirrors the real-life journey of growing up—learning to trust yourself, embracing change, and taking that next brave step forward.

For young dancers, participating in this production is far more than a performance opportunity. It’s a chance to build confidence, gain stage experience, and become part of a professional creative community that nurtures both skill and spirit. Families who have worked with Roxey Ballet know the environment is supportive, inspiring, and deeply committed to helping children shine.

Whether your child is new to dance or already training regularly, this production welcomes all levels with open arms. What matters most is enthusiasm, imagination, and a willingness to explore the story through movement.
