@youthgirl38, I AM VERY TOTALLY COMPLETELY jealous because I have no talent whatoever... Nontheless I loved! Bolshoi always suprises us in the best way possible! I with I could dance like that (or at least walk without falling)
What a strange journey it has been. I started off going on Youtube and noticing an ign trailer for Alice: Madness returns, which leads me to watching alice in wonderland. I notice in the side bar, an Edward Scissorhands trailer and felt compelled by the music, causing me to look up sad movie soundtracks which leads me to Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. Then I notice the newest Aronofsky film, Black Swan, and before I know it, I'm looking up ballet's on youtube.

Peter I. Tchaikovsky and The Nutcracker are a part of our past and future. Great ballet and musical performances. Whether its the waltz of the flowers, Snowflakes,
the sugar Plum fairy, dance of the Reed Pipers, the dance of the Mice, and the chinese dance, it is Tchaikovsky at its best. Janice, Atlanta, GA
to all them jerks out there who make fun of boys for being in ballet... you think football is hard? basketball? HA! the boys in ballet are more hardworking muscular an hardcore than you will ever be! and they get to be in a whole class full of girls, just sayin (:
@abbysawesome98 thank you! i think its manly when a man is into dancing. which is gayer? a bunch of big sweaty men grabbing each other to get a ball, or men in a room with a lot of pretty girls?
@abbysawesome98 I don't deny that. I've seen The Nutcracker Ballet, and I can see every single leg mucsle through their tights. Ballet dancers are athletes in their own right.
@starspiano hell yeah! if you give 200% and put all your heart and soul into it, you'll get there;) but you have to be careful when training really hard, especially on pointe shoes, because you can get cramps and all kinds of stuff....once one of my best friends got a thing in her foot (idk what it was) and now she cant dance:( she had won many medals:( it was sad:S ..........btw, dont think im an expert, im only 14:D im not like EXCELLENT but i know a lot of things about this:)
I could not belive it, but according to the time and scene, I am one of the 3 sopranos singing behind the scene. I did not know, that anybody got it on tape.
My Long life dream is being in the nutcracker ballet as a snowflake then hoping to step up to the sugar plum fiary i would do anything to fufill this dream I am 12 years old and im in pre point and soo excited tog et my point shoes i have been doing abllet since i was 3 ! I Just thought i would share my dream with u guys and myabe one day u don't know it may happen
i want to do ballet SO BADLY, i've seen the nutcracker every year since I can remember, and i've been so envious of their grace and perfection. i'm setting it as one of my life goals to go en pointe someday.
@LouiseIsNotListening Clara doesn't do anything after this variation lol. She just rides in a carriage to a bunch of different countries. If anything, you should be the Sugar Plum fairy. That's what I want to be.
The Nutcracker is when your trying to get into the Club and the Bouncer does, well you know, the "Nutcracker" (he grabs your Balls HARD), and yeah it hurts like a motherfucker
i love ballet but ive been in the nutcracker 2 times and i love snow but at our company the Snow Queen is at center and is lifted up by the king and shes in a pase and a whole bunch of snow falls its BEAUTIFAL!!!! it makes me cry every time!!! :)
I can't get why disliking a video has become something that anyone can mock. I thought that everyone had the right to like or dislike whatever they want, that's why the dislike button is there. I know people who don't listen to classical music and have much more sentiments and emotions than a lot of douches who listen to it and try to show off by saying how great the music they like is. I find it rather hyporcitic to tell people off because of their tastes
This video is the reason why i love ballet sooooooo much it just melts my heart away and the music omg the whole thing isnt beautiful it isnt pretty it isnt sensational THERE IS ACTUALLY NO WORD THAT CAN DESCRIBE HOW EXTRODINARY AND POWERFUL BALLET IS. I hav to watch this video at least once a week because it is truely phenomamel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im left breathless everytime
Archipova and Mukhamedov are spectacular, and the choreography excellent. At 1:28, it is magical because he takes 3 steps supporting each grand jeté. The Royal Ballet tried something like this, but much slower, and not the same effect, though they had falling "snow" which was nice. Years of hard work and discipline to create the beauty... and not to forget the composer!
wow, amazing dancing! :) i may only be 15, but ive been lucky enough to grow up with grandparents that take me to ballets, and nutcracker is by far my favourite :D the music is beautiful aswell <3
I laughed so hard when I read your comment - thanks for making a gray, rainy day bright.
I think you would also love George Balanchine's Diamonds, because there are some obvious "snowflake" moments. Both the costumes and the choreography relate directly to the Nutcracker dance of the snowflakes. The Paris Opera Ballet has a great version of Mr. B's Jewels (including Diamonds) on DVD. Look for the clip on YouTube.
@KcAriaGirl Me too! I'm 16 now and started a little bit over a year ago. I'm just starting to get up on pointe and so excited to be a snowflake in December!
This is my favorite part of the ballet--completely magical--helped by Tchaikovsky's marvelous score--it speaks to children and adults at the same time--no mean feat. We both go to a mystical place far from the cares of the world. More snowflakes please!
Man, i saw The Nutcracker here in Portugal by the Moscow Tchaikovsky Ballet (it does have former Bolshoi Ballet dancers and more) company and i absolutely loved it.
It really was superb! :D
Funny how i never thought i would say this! Now i want more! xD
@XxMcFlyAngelxX agreed! That was pretty insane and so beautiful!
The leading lady was so graceful. Her extensions were gorgeous and her landings were so soft! I have no dancing lingo in my dictionary so sorry if i'm totally butchering these words. Either way, this dance was gorgeous in the end. :)
@DBCOOPER888 ballerinas are not insecure. some football players take ballet to build up their muscles! you're insecure because you don't like the sport/art/dance.
@DBCOOPER888 ballerinas are nor insecure. some football players take ballet to build up their muscles! you're insecure because you don't like the sport/art/dance.
i came to this video to learn something about ballet for my music apreciation class, but all i learned is that ballerinas are pissted off at society lol i dont know if i should include that on my essay...
this is what most weak people say,especially boys: "Do you see how twirly and dumb looking ballernina's are? At least they don't have to have any mucsules like us football players do."
well, then other people who dont do ballet, you are W-R-O-N-G!
Just performed the full suite last night. No contest who has the harder job though - at least we get to sit down in the orchestra! I can imagine how tiring it must be for a ballerina...
If I were running this production I would fire the costume designer in a heartbeat. Those little head cap things all the snowflakes are wearing are ugly, there are about 60 things wrong with the Nutcracker's outfit and I am not sure if I would stick with the little flake things in the dancers hands, I can't tell if they augment or detract from the choreography.
@toppless09 God, calm down. Every ballet school has their own idea of how the Nutcracker is, along with their costumes. If you don't like it, then go on some other video and watch that, or just keep your mouth shut.
I can't even clap my hands to a rhythm and these people are running and jumping around, perfectly in sync. AND they manage to not get any wedgies in their tights!
Truly beautiful. Tchaikovski was brilliant. It is ironic that he as well as many music critic dismissed The Nutcracker as being too romantic and tepid. My children adore the music and we got to see the magnificient perfromance at Lincoln Center last year. They were awe struck.
I could just cry looking at them, they're just too beautiful...

My brother thinks that all you need to do this is a pair of pointe shoes and some balance. The 1,953 people that liked this proved him wrong.

If I were running this production I would fire the costume designer in a heartbeat. Those little head cap things all the snowflakes are wearing are ugly, there are about 60 things wrong with the Nutcracker's outfit and I am not sure if I would stick with the little flake things in the dancers hands, I can't tell if they augment or detract from the choreography.

@toppless09 God, calm down. Every ballet school has their own idea of how the Nutcracker is, along with their costumes. If you don't like it, then go on some other video and watch that, or just keep your mouth shut.

I can't even clap my hands to a rhythm and these people are running and jumping around, perfectly in sync. AND they manage to not get any wedgies in their tights!

Truly beautiful. Tchaikovski was brilliant. It is ironic that he as well as many music critic dismissed The Nutcracker as being too romantic and tepid. My children adore the music and we got to see the magnificient perfromance at Lincoln Center last year. They were awe struck.

Lovely, Tchaikovsky's least favorite composition, ironically! Thank you for posting, happy holidays! One love!
