Renowned choreographer, Neville Parry will be leading the dancefloor in Rippon Lea’s grand ballroom, bringing more than a decade of expertise in performing arts, as he guides guests through Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder on the Dancefloor.
“The Rippon Lea mansion was the ideal choice to host this event. From the graceful ballroom to the expansive outdoor alfresco and courtyard, its grandeur perfectly mirrors the backdrop of the film,” said Mr. Parry.
Guests are encouraged to dress like they would at Oliver’s Birthday Party, an exclusive affair for devoted fans of the beloved property. Guests can shop their head-turning outfits at the VAULT, located within Melbourne’s Block Arcade.
“The film’s soundtrack effortlessly transports you back to the early 2000s, immersing you in an authentic and unforgettable experience. That is something we wanted to create with this event, a real-life mansion movie story – right here in Melbourne,” adds Mr. Martins.
Rippon Lea is nestled within seven hectares of Victorian pleasure gardens; offering a unique allure and elegance. It is recognised on the National Heritage Register for its significance in Australian history, having been one of the finest examples of original suburban estates in Australia.
