Nutcracker: Russian Dance

[YaakovSarafian]

They were quite perfect but not perfect :(

[snigir1917]

They are rather Turks than Russians.

[erw165]

hey this is the SF ballet! my moms friend workes backstage for this company, and we went to see it. it was stunning

[fearnothingdearone]

awsome!! *O*

[bluerazzberry77]

This one would be the best that i have seen except for dancewest ballet's The Nutcracker

[awesomegirlO]

I'll be honest. This is amazing! But the one I saw had a bear....... He made it way better than this lol.

[twilarila98]

the russian is my fav of all times!

[holunallan]

Bravo!!!



[missbriogirl]

Is this the sanfran ballet??? =D This is my favorite version!

[RabbleRowsette]

@missbriogirl Yes! SF Ballet's Nutcracker is one of the best. Their Waltz of the Snowflakes is gorgeous! I'm seeing it again tomorrow!

[opasu1]

I am speechless!!

[ProdigyStepper]

I get that the conductor was waiting for them to pop out but how did they jump out at the same time?

[klenmn]

phenominal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[pursehappygal]

Thank you for sharing this. I saw this on PBS and was amazed at the interpretation of this dance Faberge Eggs and all. If those guys bursting from the paper doesn't get your attention, you fell asleep at the performance.

[marcelo389]

Can someone please tell the me name of the move at 0:23 ?

[Tulip4life]

what company is this? Trepak is always my favorite part of the show, and this is the best I've ever seen it performed!

[BillBaileyFan2662]

My brother (running my Russian rehearsal): Russian is the highest intensity dance in the entire show. I would know. I've done it ten years in a row, and it's still 87 seconds of pure Hell.

My brother's a ninja :)

[cardinal1708]

at the beginning it is like BOOM

[EcDance606]

This is a great russian dance!!!! Yes the middle dancer is extremely strong but so are the other 2 guys! Wonderful!!!!

[TheBroadwayprincess5]

THEY JUMPED OUT OF EGGS!!! If you haven't already figured out from the first two seconds of this that this is the best Russian dance ever, you are craazy

[IloveTinoandMJ]

You can tell the one in the middle is the better dancer.

[johnR415area]

@IloveTinoandMJ the middle dancer is always the more talented in sfb's nutcracker, they have to do more in the finale.

[1238ilovetodance]

This is my favorite Trepak dance of alllll time!!!!

[lulu89PB]

That was like 10,000 calories burned in 1 minute and 20 seconds. LOL. WOW! :)

[fregramis1]

Man i get to do Russian this year and our Russian isn't anything like this!

[OrangeJuice967]

@fregramis1 Good luck either way haha

[toastertastic]

This deserves more views.

[alchimiste1968]

The best choreography I have ever seen of this piece. These 3 boys are just perfect!!! Amazing!!!! I love the steps at 0:21, just perfect synchronisation!!!

[Gryffindorfreak1990]

I saw this version on tv in New York, PBS was showing it!

[256NatLiz]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuhude!

[maicel35]

1 person cant dance

[TheLexiLopez]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! :)

[talon1824]

Marvelous Russian dance!! I have to agree with everyone else -- the BEST I've ever seen. They were absolutely perfect.

[horsedog1296]

WOW! I've never seen a dance where everyone is moving at EXACTLY the same time :P They're perfect!

[ArwenPendragon]

This is amazing! :D

[peaceypenguin]

This dance is my favorite dance of all of the dances in the Nutcracker! I love the music and the dance. Wonderful and amazing are just two words to describe San Franscio's Nutcracker. It's a classic and I love all the dances. Just spectacular!

[duhitsjuliet]

Are there any videos or are there any possibilities to upload the dances of the Queen, I think that's what she plays in this version, the asian dancer? In this San Francisco Nutcracker, as well as the Arabian dance? Thank you <3 Loooove this performance entirely.

[asmt08]

SF Ballet. Marvelous Choreograph, and skilled artistic dancers. Thank you for the wonderful stage. My 5 years old said "Wow" as dancers hopped out to the stage. She will remember that moment forever. I enjoy observing her reaction, and powerful crispy dance.

[jhernandez16]

Yea. Its the SF company. I saw it last night. This was one of the best acts. The rest was a little bit disappointing.

[Serrobi]

It's the San Francisco Ballet...this was on PBS last night.

[pursehappygal]

I remember seeing this on PBS and I think this is a dance company based in Washington. Does anyone know who it is?

Yes, and it is a very exhausting dance!

[rickyricardo]

wow one of the best Russian Dances I've seen and I've seen the ballet three times and countless times on Youtube. Well done!

[alexcera12]

amazing!

[Raduisya]

That's the best choreography for this music ! Bravo!

[BecMongolianChopSqua]

IT'S JUST SO EPIC EVERY TIME! :D

[AlexanderMDgreat89]

Amazing!! So much energy its great!

[DarkwingsDesending]

I usually am very ashamed to be a russian, but this video and the music in it, has made me proud to be who I am. No matter what anyone tells me.

[RodinaZovet]

@DarkwingsDesending

Why you are ashamed of being Russian? This is best nationality in the world...

[DarkwingsDesending]

@RodinaZovet Ah. You'd be surprised. the Americans here think I am a terrorist.

[rafaelLEE93]

@DarkwingsDesending haha thats pretty mean. i think russia is a very beautiful culture. probably one of my favorites next to swedin. :)

[rafaelLEE93]

@DarkwingsDesending americans are just fat and mean haha, well being american i find other cultures amazing in thier own way, not looking at the government and politics but looking at it from thier foods, clothing, traditions and so forth. I've been wanting to do the foriegn exchange program and russia is one on my list :p

[Ballet4Everz]

Eppicc!

[ballerinagirl1998]

I think this is the San fransisco ballet!!!

[nickcgus]

@ballerinagirl1998

This is definitely the San Francisco Ballet. I used to go to that performance every year during the Christmas Season.

[AcemanJones]

What company is this?

[CormieMac19]

one of the most difficult versions of that variation EVER! Virtuosity encapsulated!

[Missmmkr3]

god, that shows hard work

[Fula101]

This is just about my favorite classical song!

[Lomelindi88]

Best Russian dance (from the Nutcracker) that I've seen! Man, this dance is always so exhausting, especially for male dancers. :/

[civreal]

@Lomelindi88

When I saw it live at San Fransisco Ballet I was sold when the bust out of the paper

[TheDashab3]

@civreal i saw this in san fransisco too live!!!

[charliieballerino]

This is the best one ive ever seen!!! its soo perfect!
