This is my favorite men’s dance in ballet because of the skill level needed for the three men performing. Rarely in ballet do you see male group dance scenes, let alone having high end dancers perform.

I keep coming back to this because it’s by far the best choreography.

The height on the main dancer is getting on those jumps is crazy.

This is by far the best choreography for this dance I’ve seen and I’ve seen a dozen different versions of this ballet produced by famous companies like the Royal Ballet Company or the Russian Bolshoi Ballet Company. Those are the top two companies besides New York. So it’s awesome to see that a smaller company like Boston’s has such amazing talent. I have seen this choreography performed twice, and without fail their male dancers put anyone else’s to shame.

Tan sólo diré que he visto a muuuchos PEEERO estos son los MEJORES. Principalmente el bailarín del centro. ¡Felicidades!

A quick tip for non ballet folks out there: in most performances of the Russian dance scene the main dancer is usually played by the nutcracker Prince or the sugar plumb Prince. That’s why you will usually see Clara sitting by herself on this scene. However in this choreography it must be the sugar plumb Prince because the nutcracker Prince is sitting next to her.
