僕はゆっくりで柔らかく、古典なのにモダン踊れるのはアラビアの踊りしかないから気に入ってるだけだよ。勘違いしないでね。

Best choreography I have ever seen for this dance

When (and if) I get to Heaven, I want to perform this ballet with the same skill and elegance of these talented dancers. So beautiful!

I seriously used the same idea with the snowflakes projected on the cyc while lighting a local nutcracker production!

This is my favorite part of the Nutcracker

I too have seen the Arab Dance in hundreds of variations. And this one is doubtless the most off-key and absurd (and more than a little creepy) versions ever. And as for the "erotic" touches they make me want to jump out my skin and flee the theater. By the way couldn't they have found a slightly less grotesque third-world representative (nice hear cut by the way) to slouch around the stage--they must be a dime a dozen. NB I think I'll stick with the (slightly less hip, but infinitely better educated) companies such as the Mariinsky, the Bolshoi or even the Moskva ballet.

A visual and prolific masterpiece.

Incredible! Many Congratulations!

I saw the "Arab Dance" in hundreds of versions. This is without doubt one of the best. A touch of only slightly indicated erotic touch the viewer goes under the skin, the movements flow into one another - just great. Had a better backdrop but deserves one anyway only focuses on the marvelous pair of dancers.

@BalletGirl314 It's the pas de deux (duet) before the Waltz of the Snowflakes Corps :)

wow

I have to say ive seen a lot of arabian dances and im usually very disappointed. They dont have a true awe to them, but this one really captures the music with their dance and every gesture. Its sensual , flexible, and with beautiful lines like arabic dances should be.

i feel like clara shouldn't go on pointe; she's supposed to be a little girl: i think being on pointe just adds years to her and she doesn't look like a child

Love love love!!! Awesome! :)

is wonderful! Can you tell me the name of the music played at the beginning of the video? thank you!

Mr Brooks, you are magical! I've seen many Arabian dances, yours is beautiful. You are beautiful!!

While I was still a young teenager, I worked with Cindy on the national tour of the King & I. I remember I was initially really bratty around her but then warmed up to her. She left a few months into the production, but she was really a very sweet person. I have a photo of her and I from the show, my mother had framed it initially because it was a good photo, but knowing of her passing, it's more than just a memento now.

@pennydesouza It's called "TIgris". Its on all mac computers. I think It's a Jingle :)

Very nice! Music is wonderful and they make a nice Acro Duo. Very well done

o my god ii wisshh i was herr lolllll

I went to college with Cyndi - what happened?

Of all the "chocolate" arabic dances from the nutcracker this is one of my top favorites if not my favorite!

What was the music used over the opening credits?

@muneca2132336 lol, i know, i'm not... completely... hopelss xD

@airachica well THIS is closer than Barbie lol ;-)

@airachica...When Tchaikovsky wrote the Nutcracker suite, the different dances in the "Land of the Sweets" were written to connect each Country with a delicacy: * Spanish Dance: Chocolate * Arabian Dance: Coffee * Chinese Dance: Tea * Russian Dance: Candy Canes * Mother Ginger: Bon-bons * Reed Flutes: Marzipan * Waltz of the Flowers * Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy It was a pretty sophisticated form of assimilation for the era it was written =)

@muneca2132336 Let me be honest, I don't know much about ballet and it's not one of my hobbies. But when I think about ballet I think of france, england, russia or such cultures. I am NOT saying that arabians shouldn't or can't dance ballet, not at all.

@airachica May I ask why ballet, and Arabian style clothing do not mix?? Ballet is about a choreographer taking music, and bringing it to life, and if I was Tchaikovsky I would be proud of ALL of the different interpretations that have been made out of the suite...if you had to choreograph "Flight of the bumblebee" would you put your dancers in horsefly costumes?? I didn't think so SMDH

Just stunning and gorgeous. The way this piece of music was meant to be danced!

Wow! That was great! It must of been really hard to do those fouttès in that dress!

Wow! That was great! It must have been really hard to do those fouttes in that dress!

i LOVE this version!!!

Miss you ♥ Love you so much

Awesome. The best Arabian I can find on youtube! Thanks for the inspiration.

beautiful song!! beautiful ballet!!!!

SoooOoo beautiful , and elegant , ......so much talent.LOVEEE IT !!!

This is as about as sensual as dance can ever possibly get. Oh my GOD this was amazing. Truly lived up to the music. Wow.

Ballet can be done in street clothes nowadays. This is also one of the most famous ballets in ballet history, and this part has ALWAYS been performed in Arabian clothes. Just for future reference.

oh... well, i'm not the biggest ballet fan, so i guess i didn't knew the obvious XD

this is what it's from, airachica, the variations section of The Nutcracker...it's a very famous section, usually danced in 'arabian' costuming

uhh... no ??

Have you heard of the Arabian Dance in the Nutcracker?

Soo amazing!! I loved it. So creative and beautiful.

it's not that they aren't good, but it looks a bit weird... ballet in aabian clothes? you know, typical arabian clothes, it doesn't quite match. however, they are really talented

wow that was amazing! this choreographer is VERY creative, haven't seen choreography like this anywhere! the girl has great control and amazing extentions! keep up the fantastic work!

WOW! All the other nutcrackers i've seen and danced in cannot compare to this arabian. This choreography truly grasps the sexyness of the music. I wish I could see their faces!

very beautiful! what's the intro song used for the credits at the beginning?

sexy

Claps claps & Claps!!!!! is so amazinggg!!!! lov it!

Love it!!!! could watch it over and over again!
