It may just be because I've danced to this song more than once, but I'm not much a fan of the fact that Clara and the Nutcracker are dancing with the snow, mostly because it takes alot of the attention away from the snow when the snowflakes can do much more in the dance without. But this is my favorite nutcracker of all the productions I've seen, I watched it on Ovation's battle of the nutcracker"'s :)
on 27th i will go to see Kievo's ballet the Nutcracker..!!I am super excited..i was studying ballet for 12 years..i have danced nutcracker!my favorite! :) MERRY X-MAS EVERYONE!
@windstorm1000 Yes and no. If the snow comes down inappropriate amounts, its usually ok. However, I've been in a situation where the snow accidentally came out all at once in a hugeclump rather than gradually, and I was literally blinded for a few seconds. It was really hard to keep a straight face after that, because it was totally unexpected.
the dancers are so feminine. nice that the orchestra is taking this at a slower pace for a change--a leisurely snow fall as opposed to a frenetic one. really magical.
I have taken ballet for 10 years, and my competition team is doing this song, we're preforming with the Symphony, and hopefully competing with it, wish us luck!
@AshOnStage nice to hear a dancer's point of view! much harder than it looks as the saying goes--and of course the job of the dancer is to make it all look so graceful, but still hard work!! thank you---and thanks to you and many dancers out there who are making our Christmas and the Nutcracker more graceful and beautiful!!!
doing the nutcracker at my school and our snowflake dance doent look nearly as good...and we are in slippers not pointe...which does not look as pretty
It is an absurd how people established that ballet is not for men.

I'm wondering if a dancer could tell us if the snowflakes are a liability for this dance--you know slipping, getting one in the eye, etc.

Snow is my favorite music and routine in Nutcracker by far, but boy does it murder my feet and my pointe shoes...
I love the formations/transitions in this version so much. They really look like snowflakes. :]
