All Nutcrackers Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keshet- Nutcracker on the rockse:  Already talked about it
Popejoy Hall Nutcracker:  Well of course it was good. It was professional dancers. the main character, Clara, was 17, and she was and amazing dancer. Everything was perfect. Their was more ballet in this one then the other two (Starlet and Keshet, Nutcracker on the rocks). All of the dancers were on pointe. They also had very exquisite costumes. This one is my favorite so far.
Starlet:I want to talk about Meghan’s and china’s nutcracker. It was less dancing then I thought. Well to my standards, it followed the line of the nutcracker pretty well.  There was less dancing, which I thought was weird. And there was more acting, but it was a good show. They also had little children like 2 and 3 years old that were mice and sheep, which added a little less professional style to the performance, but they were really cute. They were so little!!!!!!!!!! That is what I thought of the performance. Only the main characters were on pointe.
BRT Nutcracker: I still need to see it so get back to you on that!!!

Nutcracker on the Rocks

Last night i saw Nutcracker on the rocks. It was really good.  To my surprise Vladimir, the guy I shadowed, was the nutcracker. He is such a good dancers. I was very impressed. None of them wore shoes, and then they were spinning, jumping, and doing developes, which for me I need shoes for. Also, for the snowflakes they had some disable children come and do some stuff, while the others danced around. Vladimir danced with a wheelchairs girl. And then there was the rat queen. She was the best dancer out of all of them. She was strong and limber, but Vladimir is just strong, which there is slight difference.  She really could show emotion with her face, and she really acted her part. Where Marie, the main character, shows emotion through her face, but if felt like she was just going through the movements.



(I was very sad becuase i wanted someone to wear the red pointe shoes.)
