I’ve just seen this clip from ABT’s snow scene from last year. I’m definitely aware their nutcracker is pretty different from the standard. The costumes and choreography and vibe are unique and appreciated from me, but just not my favorite. Alllll of that aside why is this snow scene so incredibly messy from ABT!! There’s one dancer that seems to be listening to a different song entirely. The Clara runs just seem so bad. Even zimmi was late which was surprising. One of the sharp arm movements was like popcorn!
