our history
The Mill Ballet School was founded in 1995 by Melissa and Mark Roxey. The “Mill” received its name from the original home of the school: the Prallsville Mill in Stockton, New Jersey. Starting in the linseed oil building, the school quickly grew beyond its “little Mill” and in 1999 relocated to a state-of-the-art facility in Lambertville, NJ. Over the next 20 years, it became a key part of the vibrant Lambertville community, surrounded by art, music, and culture.
​
Now located in New Hope, PA, the Mill Ballet School continues its mission to provide world-class dance education. With a faculty of professionals from the country’s top dance companies, the school creates a positive and creative environment where dancers of all ages and levels thrive. Instructors focus on nurturing students through constructive and encouraging communication, helping them reach their highest potential.
​
The Mill Ballet School has launched many professional dance careers and remains a cultural and educational destination for thousands of NJ and PA residents, fostering a lifelong love of the art of dance.
