Cards dance

Alice in Wonderland ballet, choreography by Christopher Wheeldon, composer Joby Talbot

I love how chaotic everything is but elegant at the same time. There’s different things happening at the same time, its so not in sync that it is in sync. Definitely pleasing to the eye.

[@itamarbar9580]

They could even make it more mind-blowing if the cards opening up in the beginning were actual dancers in card costumes

[@itamarbar9580]

Even the music is just as you say. Chaotic but elegant. It's nasty sounds in the orchestration, but these are simple diminished chords.

@@itamarbar9580 would be hard to dance in but would be a cool idea

[@lilronnyg5724]

If you watch the video where they work with the choreographer rehearsing this, it's surreal to see it in action. So much thought was put into this beauty. This is an incredibly hard dance for them to synchronize together.

[@itamarbar9580]

As much as I understand, the difficult part was a Canon in dancing.

[@lyn100]

the costuming for this was *genius*. i loved how the tutus were the shape of their suit!

[@bringingbacksockswithsandals]

I’ve been looking for footage of this dance ever since I saw the rehearsal video!! It truly is something to watch; everything is chaotically precise. It’s amazing

[@zelly4914]

The music is wild! Back and forth between frantic and dangerous to light and whimsical.

[@lisa-mariegarcia7342]

It’s almost as if they were shuffling

Oh. I see the pun. You definitely don't pull your puns-I mean punches do you?

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Brilliant costume design. I mean it’s all brilliant. Just wow.

[@charmyclover2520]

I love how the tutus are shaped like hearts and the other shapes

[@vicentehizon6202]

I love that the tutus for the girls are shaped like the shapes on a card: heart, club, spade and diamond.

I really wish I get to perform this in a corps one day, it’s such an amazing copes dance😍

[@horse_addictforlife_ECuestrian]

Truly a work of art, all those cannons were absolutely amazing.

[@LauracLaurac]

I saw this way too many times, it's amazing

I'm blown to bits-

show! Lindo!

[@tanyaquiros913]

I wonder why the ending is different here as opposed to the rehearsal footage. Here they exit the stage before White Rabbit comes on.

[@ZheeYoYo]

When i was professionally dancing i hated to wear a white unitards like that. They make you feel so self conscious

[@nathanwang1515]

@@adyadyyy1773 The only way to listen to this specific piece (as far as I know) is to watch the recording of the ballet.
