I love it

I really do love the music, I think Joby Talbot did such an amazing job, it sounds so magical! I watch these videos over and over again, I just love listening to the music and hearing little themes he uses for different characters, it's so clever! I think Christopher Wheeldon did such a beautiful job with the choreography, I think the way Wheeldon and Talbot worked as a team just means the music and dance mesh perfectly if you see what I mean, not a bit of dance to some pretty music.

I HONESTLY THINK CHRISTOPHER WHEELDON SHOULD BE THE NEXT DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL BALLET, THIS IS SO EXCITING!

False! Tis not the Royal Ballet.

@missdancer333 This love for the most human art form, is a love you obviously don't have, considering your measure of "real dancing", seems to consist of your preferred costume style and comedic value. Maybe you should watch this video again, and maybe TRY to appreciate the raw passion and energy that emanates from these amazing dancers. REAL DANCERS.

@missdancer333 I was Clara for Central West Ballet's production of The Nutcracker in 2010, and even though my performance is a far cry from Lauren Cuthbertson's beautiful portrayal of Alice, my experience has showed me that the magic of dance isn't about perfect technique, or "better costumes". What makes people want to come see these dancers perform is their passion, and love for their art. People would not love Clara if she wasn't feisty, or if she did not share her emotions with the audience.
