    It's insane how some girls perform a lead role, such as Clara, at young ages like 11. At my studio, the girls are in high school, so they can perform on pointe, and do more advanced dancing.

    • @marysheeran519
      @marysheeran519 3 года назад +2

      It's a different version of the story. Balanchine wanted the students from SAB to be part of the ballet - in fact, he liked to find places for them in several ballets - and he took special time to give them instruction.

  • @calwix348

    Wow they are young! That’s really cool for my studios nutcracker I think our Clara is in high school so she can do all dem pointe work bc we go on pointe about in middle school and not elementary like some
    Edit: also for the hair for party scene we have to put our hair in curls and not use the curling iron bc the curl will come out even with hair spray XD and it hurts

  • @Sabilxve

    Oh gosh! My ballet is required to get our makeup on 1-2 hours before, then we put on our costumes 40 minutes later, we have to wait for 15 minutes and not talk at all so no one has to hear random children talking. For hair we usually wear buns and we have volunteers to put on our makeup, we also usually have the same makeup even bon bons. (I think.)
    My old dream of being was the rats, for my ballet dance, it’s just fun and you all do the same thing at once. We have 3 parts to be in. The intro rats, mice, and Soldiers just dance (not the battle yet.) then we have the battle. In all I think it’s 5 minutes, the dances are short (most of them.) so there you have it, my old dream of doing, and what to wear.

    I was in the Nutcracker. I’m not professional, or a kid, or in New York, heck im not even good. But I was in the Nutcracker in a small town and to be honest it looked a lot like this but everything looked less professional lol.

    For us make-up is 1hour before and hair has to be fun earlier by parents to keep it o curls.parents curl it then get the hair and bunch it and put it in a hair not and Bobby pin the end of hair not to hair
    Coustume is 30 min before and we have to be down there 15 min before
    BOYS just were a bit of powdered foundation and blush on cheeks....
    (With the company I do it with boys are played by girls in the party scence...but there is ACTUALL BOYS)
