Meet Two of the RB II Dancers!
Graham Ersnest Albachten is a native of New Jersey. Graham Albachten received his training at the Mill Ballet School under the direction of Melissa and Mark Roxey. Graham has been a participant in Roxey Ballet activities since he was a 6 years old. Starting ballet at the age of 6, Graham immediately found a great love for performing and debuted in Roxey Ballet's (then know as HCYB) first full length ballet, The Nutcracker, as a party boy. Since then he has danced various roles in all of the ballets performed by the company and school, such as Russian (Trepak), Spanish (chocolate), and Toy Soldier in the Nutcracker, Cavalier and Troll in Cinderella, and many other pieces of original choreography performed by the company. At age 11, he was accepted into Roxey Ballet's second company, and at 13, Graham was invited to join the Roxey Ballet's professional company as a junior apprentice. At this time he was given a prominent role in Dracula, and went on tour to Vermont with the company to perform as R.M. Renfield. In June of 2005, he was accepted into American Ballet Theatre's prestigious six week Summer Intensive in New York City on a scholarship. Graham is a charter member of Roxey Ballet II and is now an apprentice to the main company.
