Ballet Arizona's version of the nutcracker is amazing! It puts this one to shame, the production itself is 1.8 million dollars. I'm so glad I was in it this year, i got to be a small toy soldier.
Why is everybody hating on Chicago's, production? I don't see why one production should be better than the other! This isn't even the full ballet! This is a little snippet of the battle. It's a great production in person! This is the Chicago Joffrey production.
It doesn't look like Clara's on pointe, the mice and soldiers seem to be little kids, the mouse King and the Nutcrackers gift is waving swords at each other...
@@12Haque Sometimes they change the role to a Mouse Queen instead depending on how many men are dancing in the production. Last year my dance school had a Mouse Queen instead of a Mouse King.
@@12Haque you're welcome. the original nutcracker story by e.t.a. hoffman had a mouse queen whom the mouse king that we see in most versions is the son of.
This is so scary that my body jumped at the sound of the cannon firing onstage. I saw this ballet with my grandparents when I was Clara’s age only it was seen at an opera 🏠 somewhere in the City By The Bay. 👍🏻 if your remember it well.
I know this part. Loved "The Nutcracker" for years. This is when the Christmas tree gets enlarged by the magic of Drosselmeyer, Clara is caught right in the dream of the upcoming battle of the toy soldiers and the mice, the sugar cannon goes "bang!", and the evil mouse king or queen appears. The Nutcracker doll - very small at the start of the ballet - turns into a real-life toy soldier who finds himself facing the evil mouse king or queen to the death. Then Clara does the "shoe" thing at the evil rat.
So Cute!! When I was I was a soldier, we were all en pointe. Personally I like pointe soldiers better than flat. but they seemed young. We were older. Clara seemed good, though I wish she was en pointe..
I thought that Clara was very graceful. This reminded me of my own company's Nutcracker because of the smaller children as mice. The comedy part with te soldier and mouse making friends was hilarious, but I think my company's Nutcracker is far more advanced. And our age range is 5-18.
Often times Fritz is played by a girl because there are so few boys who do ballet in smaller productions/dance schools. There needs to be a Nutcracker, and then possibly a Drosselmayer, but at my school, Drosselmayer is played by a professional, I don't know about other schools.
Sorry I over-anticipated technically on the "gunshot" or "cannon shot" here in the ballet. The price of knowing the Nutcracker too much lays on my hands. Sorry. So, since I know a lot about theater and opera, I do not see the muzzle shot of the toy soldier's musket when it was in firing position at the evil mouse leader and the rats. So I have high confidence that in this Nutcracker production, the "bang" I heard was from a prop gun fired offstage. The reason - the concern about the 9-foot buffer regarding the "wad" when using theatrical guns on stage to discharge gunshots.
In the original story, as Clara throws the shoe at the mouse leader in the height of the rats vs. toy soldiers battle, the mouse leader gets knocked out for good, but Clara faints.
I’m a soldier this year and I like the music but our costumes are goofy asl and uncomfortable but next year I’ll either be in the Spanish dance or a party girl.
People need to pick Clara's that are en pointe!!!!! Also, ur mice are VERY VERY loud and idk if they were supposed to be seen while Clara was dancing or not, but they were.
Oursis awesome. We have a roadrunner thats the scorekeeper and coyotes and soldiers and king coyote. In the end eveyone dies even the luitennete. Btw this is southwest nutcracker, not originl one.
Im a metal head/professional drummer, and i love the nutcracker, and i love and respect ballet.
It's looks like rats Clara took trap Clara
I was Clara in the 2008 Nutcracker for Southwest Washington Dance Center in 2008!!! It was the best thing ever!!! I
I did ballet when I was young, and I have the mouse music and March of the Toy Soldier forever ingrained in my mind.
oh my word. the choreography is hilarious

Michelle - you are a wonderful Clara!!!
This was so good! I was Clara this year en pointe(my first nutcracker en pointe 😱) it was a good show though!!

Im a soldier, and my younger sister is Fritz!
Fritz isn't a girl...
yes i know but there is no boys in the production available
same I'm a soldier my what's your name I might know you!

kelsea marie there's some boys but they are placed in levels.If there in advanced 3/3/4/5 that's ok. But if there in 2 or 1, no.
My ballet does that.
We used this for my part and did it so thank you
I was the little mice in our show here in the philippines and I was hitted by a cannon and I jumped and some mices catch me and cried

@number1Dancersssod
Well, in the Nutcracker I was in, I was Clara and I was en Pointe. The production I was in wasn't big though.
@singingstar137
Isn't it sooooooooo awesome being Clara??? I was in a production of The Nutcracker (not where you were) but I was Clara
Wow the versions of the battle scene are so different, theres almost nothing in common
Baton Rouge Ballet theater's nutcracker is wayyy better and I'd kno I was in it twice growing up
Vid so I can be the judge of that?
I was the rat queen, russian, court,flowers,snow,and Arabian
Is that the Nutcracker Prince dancing with Clara, or is it Drosselmeyer? He's got a huge cape!
Ima mouse this year this really helped 😌
I was in the nutcracker for 5 years! aaa good times.
And my sis is gonna be a mouse this year too she was really wanting to be a mouse.
I like the way we did it when I was Clara sooooooo much better! :)
I am a soldier! Although, I am on pointe for my dance.
