@MrDoggydog365 if you call this random walking, i guess that your the type that sees asians dancing like moronic compulsive monkeys with reversed hats and thinks "i wish i could do that", but you cant so you resort to taking ecstacy and listening 2 shitty house music scratching your nuts all over the dance floor
@Jessicle9 the "random walking" is not walking, it is part of traditional Russian dancing. that is what this dance is meant to be, a Russian folk dance.
This was without doubt the most boring Trepak I've seen...and that's kind of sad considering this was the Mariinsky Ballet doing it. I really expected something better...the choreography was kind of humdrum...a little lacking in energy...almost too simplistic, really. Granted, this is one man's opinion, but whatever.
you people just dont know what a true russian dance is so you say it sucks cause your not russian. this russian dance is one of the better ones including the costumes too.
@ballerina483 You are saying a big true. This is one of the better dances including the costumes. This costumes are tipical and traditional. A lot of people here don t Know russian dance, ukranian dance, etc I love this variation. Ballets from Kirov and Bolshoi are the best of the world.
Just saw the Kirov's version of Nutcracker in Los Angeles last week. The most morose and boring Nutcracker I've ever seen. The Kirov has seen better days. You know there is a problem when the very company that premiered the Nutcracker can't put together an interesting Russian Trepak!
I dance on this music and I love it. :)

Costumes and setting are good but something is missing... Maybe a little less repetition of random walking...

The choreography is different as well as the costumes, but it doesn't mean it sucks. Everybody has their own version. Just shut up and enjoy it.
