Tonight is the first night of the Battle of the Nutcrackers on Ovation. I adore this ballet and tonight's version is by The Royal Ballet. Not my absolute favourite but in my top 10 for sure!
My #1 is by "The Hard Nut" by the Mark Morris Dance Group. It's set in the late 60s early 70s and has a gender bending cast. Men dancing en pointe in tutus; the maid and the mother are men. The Waltz of the Snowflakes is absolutely spectacular:
