Nutcracker Chinese Dance "Tea"

[SharkVoodoo]

best part of nutcracker!

[gabrielarabeloo]

Weird. But beautiful at the same time

[PhantomWerewolf]

Wait, what's with the Chinese costumes? I thought this song was about dancing mushrooms. Fantasia, you LIED TO ME!

[klutch20]

i think they had to much grasshoppers on lunch

[dadmo12]

the poeple jumps so easy whoa that is nice .

[janetyung]

Why they dress like cows?

[InboundHeart]

odd dressing

[cutiebopper]

truely i like the act. its simple music and easy to preform. if however the song where extended and the dance moves wherent so simple it would've ben better. overall good performance

[ilovelivelaugh143]

honestly?...just cuz the man's Asian doesn't mean he wears the rice farmer hat....

[Bseriesxlp]

@ilovelivelaugh143: If he is dancing this, it was perhaps because he chose to do so.

[kaalap]

Wow, I'm tired just watching them. xD

[VonKellcsiis]

Sure they were kangooros in their other life before this e___e

[montgomify]

very cliche , may chinese green tea caused the speed of the dance ;-)

[huggykitty]

If you didn't know, sometimes companies will add a Chinese Dragon/Lion. I'm going to be in the Dragon for Contra Costa Ballet this year, and also Fight ?Scene, Artillery to be exact. I get lifted and carried off stage by one of the mice...it's really fun.

[karensydneyclaire]

makes me want some of that chinese tea. maybe i can do lightning fast petit allegros now

[SarahWhitePidgeon]

I get to play this on the flute :D sp pretty!

[comocha1]

@SarahWhitePidgeon Lucky ^-^ i cant even play a single Nutcracker song on my dang flute!

[MJST1482]

That looks so painful. Mad respect for them XD

[MKMdancerocks]

omg jumping onto pointe hurts



[avery996789]

everytime i see that girl jump on her toes like that it I can feel the skin on my toes burn, i remember doing that. its not fun

[inuyasharocks333]

ok am i the only one who heres profesor oaks lab music here or am i just crazy

[GreyScarborough]

Is this where I pick up my Pokedex?

[moneyjr1122]

this dance i consider the hardest of the nut cracker

[A3neas]

I feel the urge to jump around.

[TheLalaland226]

Ouch! It's so hard to jump like that in pointe shoes... That is awesome

[KoryEllisMulees]

The bassoon part for this is crazy hard!

[chaparra2829]

OMG her feet are so pretty! but jumping like that on point shoes is really hard and it hurts!

[1000YearsOfDeathh]

Aww it's so cute

[Sinara6]

@1000YearsOfDeathh lmao IKR

[BigSongAndDance]

now jumping on point is HARD and i tryed to do this dance and it F***** hurt!!!!!

[CressidaTussaud]

Hey Ben & Jerry

[Scharnul]

Thats sooooo Gaaaay

[KoyasuNoBara]

Oh my God, this is the Mushroom Song! :D

I haven't seen Fantasia for...over a decade at least, but I will ALWAYS think of those little dancing mushrooms when I hear this bit of music.

[lifeless94]

ouch jumping on her toes!!

[iSyrk]

fags.

[varfordogjesus]

This is very good. Music, scenography and dancing!!!

[jakester1998]

apparently,17 ppl are racists...

[VivaAlecto]

that dancer is obviously immune to gravity

the way he just hops through the air is so graceful

[1503ellen]

LOVE THIS

[caar780821]

In China they would not allowed to go to a party like that at Christmas Eve XD

[classicalmusful]

WOW! i have NEVER seen anyone get so excited about tea.

[kashiwamizu]

@classicalmusful Not to mention that this particular dance is the shortest of the all T_T

[lilcheesepuff13]

The guy is a better dancer. His timing is always perfect :P

[talon1824]

I hate that these dances are SO short! I wish they were longer.

[NewZealandAri]

Wow! he makes that jumping look so easy...

[animallover1897]

I love love love the cheography!!!! And they totally looked like pros!!

[AlexanderSigal]

Oh my god! that totally looks like Chinese people!

[1963jpman]

確かに投稿時期が２年半違いますが・・・

同じ衣装・振り付けで、素人目には向こうのほうが

うまいと思うのですが（特に目立つ男性が・・・）

でも、かたや３２６３回、こちらは３６５９６３回・・・

何か決定的な違いでもあるのでしょうか？

誰か教えて下さい。。。



[cartergirl3of3]

I never figured chinese were a hopping kind of people but I guess if Tchaikovsky says they are....

[vanburikwouter]

@cartergirl3of3 This is how they go to work ;p

[robjacksontop]

@cartergirl3of3 I was thinking the same thing. But then I attended the Imperial Chinese Opera...and THEY JUMP!

[InfiniteWolfPack]

Very nice, it gave me chills :b

[willfullyobscure]

CUTE!!!!!! (and racist, its always been racist)

[darkestmoonlightmist]

I always loved to hear this song and see the dance, its one of my favorites

[balletbrunette42]

our chinese dance is nowhere near this excellency! bravo!

[hollyisawerewolf]

They remind me of rabbits >_<

[Mosesfamily5]

i hae done ballet sence i was 4 and done the nutcraker and this is alsome

[Serena2009ification]

My family used to go see this every year at Christmastime, back when I was a kid, and I always got this piece confused with 'Dance of the Reed Flutes'. XD My grandmother hated it.

[NicolaAlexandrovna]

I don't know why but they remind me of Mungojerry and Rumpleteezer from CATS. lol

[shokre312]

Mother fuckin' Professor Oak. Awh yeah

[fluteboy101]

SO AWESOME!

[happyhappydancer12]

why do they look like cows.

[sephieslove]

@happyhappydancer12 im dyin laughing wasnt even thinking of that till i saw ur comment

[wolfxbloed]

Fabulous. 

[bmk2kmb]

AWWESOME haha the South saskatchewan youth orcestra is doing this and the third and second horn is doing the A AAAAAAA GCGCGCGC AAAAAAAA though the second is doing hte ones on the beat and me the third are doing the off beat ones its so fun

[lpiskorz]

[80zLover1985]

They make dancing look so easy :)

[myemochicken123]

This piece of music I will be playing with my high school orch. It is beautiful!

[flykiwi3]

now you know their calve muscles are BEASTLY.

[ItachisKoi]

@flykiwi3 immensely you HAVE 2 b that way in order 2 du ballet it takes ALOT of strength.

[Tarma5]

ahahahhahahaahahhahahhaahah

[cjoyoates]

uhhh im chinese and i think it's safe to say these costumes make chinese people look like cows... But great dance!

[suitelifegirl777]

@cjoyoates im taiwanese (so ya im close to chinese OwO) and YES they look like cows =w= xD lol IT LOOK AWESOME THOUGH XD especially the guy running around and jumping OwO

[sctjoanna]

0:59 the girl's feet are like rubber bands! i can't do that in my point shoes even though i tried!!

[CuddlesTaffy]

This makes me think of kittens playing :3

[orangebhuddy29]

i always want to think of the little mushrooms :3

[dancerbutt30303]

@orangebhuddy29 ha ha me too!

[Gryffindorfreak1990]

@orangebhuddy29 u probably watched Fantasia too many times!!

[Roccarocks]

This looks like a dance from hell.

[tutus4life]

what a calf killer holy crap

[nian96]

Holy shit the flute solo sounds hard

[mclaquarius94]

That was so...CUTE <3

[rickardo004]

I can't wait to play this on the piccolo! It's quite a challenge !

[ghostie7790]

geeze, the guy sure can jump!

and great flute

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Thats a great cardio workout! Ballet dancers are athletes in their own right.

[Sumomo2209]

its funny how the guy is doing high jumps while the girl is doing little bunny hops. very good though

[DraManiac]

@Sumomo2209 Yeah he's pretty amazing. But the girl is jumping on her toes! That's pretty impressive too.

[AdonaiAries]

So like... I wonder what a Chinese person thinks when they see/hear this.

[loveinseattle]

@AdonaiAries being a chinese person.... i was like....wtf :D

[AdonaiAries]

@loveinseattle I can imagine. LMAO! I would be the same way!

[residentwriter]

That dude is not chinese, he's a Mexican jumping bean lol

[Qt6Rlbx0]

that was so cute, they were like little butterflies

[TheNortherner29]

holy crap they're bouncing off the walls! why can't i have that much energy at school? seriously, though, that has to take a TON of concentration and practice to pull this off perfectly

[rachfacetan]

jumping jellybeans



[sciron60]

My absolute favorite version. I can watch this all day every day. Thanks for sharing.

[kittyboymay]

the chinese 'tea' dance has always been my favorite

[LFLOR25]

thats the chinese dance? didn't expect that

[rachfacetan]

omg!!!!!

[rachfacetan]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[cherylsmith75]

peace peace peace...

[grapesoda147]

these dance moves are kind of retarted. the one at my dance school is sooooo much better

[kikyoxbebe]

@grapesoda147 Different dances and movements depict a different story and a different character adding a different flavour to the whole story and show.

[UltimateStarlight]

cuuuuuuteeeee x3

[rachfacetan]

@UltimateStarlight is a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UltimateStarlight]

@rachfacetan why? o.O

[tipyflowerOCT]

C'est la première fois que je vois ça, vraiment on apprendre tous les jours.

This is the first time I see it, we really learn every day.

[Anthropophagie]

So cute !

[icantpirrouette13]

i love this dance. so much jumping around! it looks like fun to dance!

[cassandramountakis]

it's soo cute =3

[cvgf08]

my ballet teacher made us do this in 1st level ballet a looooong time ago... n my god was it hard lol

[JaslynnT]

nutcracker's chinese dance always reminds me of a chinese 'zombie'.. they jump around like that too lol

[billyball2]

are they supposed to be cows?

[mmmariasoledad]

Beautiful :)

[soledadjsbach]

Me gusta la interpretación de esta obra, es una de mis favoritas. Me encanta el ballet de Tchaikovsky

[Enaigia]

wow

[simpsonfreak1996]

i to danced in this when i was a kid & we had ping pong rackets for fans

[xMisterHigginsx]

This is very similar to Oak's theme in Pokemon Red and Blue. Wtf?

[dancer5616]

why do ther costumes look like a cow! i hate ther costumes other nutcracker hav much pretier chinese costumes

[ambereyes93]

@dancer5616

I agree. If not that, they look like they're wearing motley.

[RAWRITSMEL]

@dancer5616 HAHAHA I KNOW

[burtv1610]

0:39 - well he'd be alright in the olympic hurdles!

[ekbutterflyink]

@burtv1610 rofl! your comment just made my day!

[burtv1610]

@ekbutterflyink wow that was so long ago and my comment was pretty lame but it is so nice to hear you happy anyway ^_^ i guess it does look pretty weird what he is doing..

[JiS01]

@burtv1610 it's not enough to be able to jump high, you have to run a bit fast too for hurdles....idiot

[weby113]

@JiS01 well ballet isn't about speed so how do u know he runs slow?

[XxXclownshoesXxX]

@JiS01 Jeez, it was a joke man, calm down

[burtv1610]

@JiS01 I simply said he'd be good in the olympic hurdles, based on the obvious phenomenal strength in their legs.. which applies to their ability to jump incredibly high and run fast; plus they have enormous stamina....idiot?

[maikerugo]

@burtv1610 I'm actually kind of reminded of how Chinese vampires hop.

[burtv1610]

@maikerugo Woow! really? I am so interested in these Chinese vampires now ^-^

[bw01a]

Great video, love this part of the Nutcracker.

[dancearecul]

they look like cows....

haha :)

[evil1698]

I am currently stuck on wrighting a radio report a bout this OUTSTANDING SONG.

Got any Ideas?

[popomatic1000000]

Hahaha, this song isn't that hard for flute, and I'm just in 10th grade!

[timelygentleman]

No one knows how hard the first bassoon part is. Let me tell you being one who has played it, you better have good control of your embrochure. That little oom-pah thing in the beginning is tough to do right.

[russianskaterdiva]

@timelygentleman I sincerely extend my condolences if you are the only one on the part- the music for it is quite...non-conducive to breathing.

[colguy11]

this dance is just a reason that the chinese lagh at the so called western civilisation.

[sailorwaterprincess]

Oh god...I would cry if I had to do those runs on a piccilo D=

[Etsuuko]

@sailorwaterprincess What about the ones on the clarinet? :]

[sailorwaterprincess]

@Etsuuko

I dunt play clarinet XD

Im a flute player, I got the music for this...so I know what a pain it is

[juliefreelance217]

I can't do echappes that quick without a barre. =))

Amazing. :D

[RhapsodyinStu]

favorite song from the nutcracker

[piplod1]

i know both of them and they are bitches

[GisooCP]

piplod1, how do you know them and how are they bitches?

(btw, i'm not trying to be mean, i'm serious)

[puppypals2468]

omg they are like flying jelly beans THATS TOTALLY AWESOME!! :D

[s328169347]

@puppypals2468 flying jelly beans...hmm theres an analogy ive NEVER heard before, jeeesh you made me laugh till the end of this

[thedevil898]

omg they look so young how can they already do that?!

[JELLOBAI]

So Funny! More like puppet than Tea.

[flexybabe69]

LMAO they look anorexic cows dancing :)

[peonysballetseries]

I like it!

[rose7art]

this is hilarious watching them jump around. it totally made my day.

[ballerinagirlie]

cute! but it was like someone went.....okay....just...wing it....

[theBEATLESrock9790]

these dancers are extremely good. i love how they are so small! i really like the music in this one. this and the russian are my favorite songs. unfortunately i hvent seen the play or the movie. i dont think the nut cracker barbie counts. lol

[blahblahblahblah22]

This makes me giggle, and I'm not sure why!!

[AdrianaSJfan]

interesting^^ weird in a good way =D

[secretme127]

I hate the choreography, but at least they are clean.

[RoteHaareMann]

did anyone ever notice how much this sounds like Oak's Lab theme from the original pokemon games?

[amishbreadisgood]

jogging Chinese man..

[fashionandmusic921]

this is downright adorable.

those dancers have amazing skill.

[Fluffypear]

@ 0:11 LOL I love the little arm thing they're doing xD

[sailorwaterprincess]

*cries* playing flute on this song is so hard....

[tortoisegirl19]

i really wish we had male dancers at my dance school =( we only have filler ins

[RockerChick62709]

i love ballet <3 especially pointe <3

[puddin4daworld]

this is amazing :) the only thing that'd make it better (in my opinion) is if they were both more together. but otherwise, i think this is one of the best Chinese variations I've ever seen!

[aldernagon3]

yeah this is complicated

my feet hurt just looking at it.

[lindzheartz12]

ahah i am doing this dance this year ( the less complicated version! )

[dorkfaceflutexo]

dear me........what key is this in?

[lkdsjflskdfj]

17.

[dorkfaceflutexo]

doesnt really make sense..

[fashionandmusic921]

almost positive it is a# major.

[figureskatingchick96]

One of my skating bff's is skating to this song ( duet) in the nutcracker on ice this year!

[SarahBoBara13]

I'm pretty sure that if I had to do that many hops en pointe, I would weep.

[omemgeeitsKAT]

Wow, amazing. The woman looks like she is on flat, her toes are so pointed.

[tarjez]

The dance and music match so well.. but gosh, that jumping on pointe would not be easy......

[emo2theheart]

im doing this part this year.....and no it isnt XD

but is sooooo fun!!!!!!

if ur shoes are broken, it realy hurts hahahah

[omemgeeitsKAT]

i know, it kills yur feet! Not fun.

[Jeremy18183]

This is amazing I could just amagine how hard this would be on pointe

[oucutiern]

Great choreography! Man, my legs would be so sore after this one. <3 Tchaikovsky!

[toastertastic]

if i ever have to do that many releves that fast, i will cry.

[NeedForiPhones]

The whole Nutcracker performance is awesome, my favourite part is the Swan's Lake but this is cool because i play the flute and is a challenging piece. By the way how do I thrill the high F as so in 0:08 ?
