Extraordinary dancers, the choreography is incredibly difficult, especially for him, triple pirouettes, triple crosses, big jumps thrown with remarkable dexterity, all with a dose of humour that the audience appreciates. Hats off...! What years of work and suffering to achieve this! Bravo !!! At this level, we forget the costumes. Spasibo. 👍👍👍🌟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Awesome Dancers !!!! The man is incredibly talented. Extraordinaires Danseurs, la chorégraphie est incroyablement difficile, surtout pour lui, triple pirouettes, triples croisés, grands sauts lancés d'une dextérité remarquable, le tout avec une dose d'humour que le public apprécie à sa juste valeur. Chapeau bas...! Que d'années de travail, de souffrance, pour arriver à cela ! Bravo !!! À ce niveau, on oublie les costumes. Spasibo. 👍👍👍🌟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lightasmr6623]

On est d'accord ! Je ne prête que très rarement attention aux danseurs hommes en classique, mais alors lui, il est incroyable... je suis bouche bée

[@delloda]

I came to see this infamous tea scene after reading in recent news that the ballet companies are reworking it to be less offensive to Asians and it is clear that it would be with the yellow face, slit eye mascara, fake fu Manchu moustache, stereotype bamboo hat and ridiculous costume. An easy fix is to hire East Asian looking ballet dancers (and there are plenty of good ones) and give them more realistic historical costumes.

[@delloda]

@@annybetter lol you are so confused and have no understnding of the issue here. You're embarressing yourself with your immense ignorance.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

What an idiot ? You believe Russian dance must performed by Russian , right . Otherwise , it is racist

[@annjill4815]

It is an art and read the history of this ballet before writing your stupid comments. You may give female parties to the men or make your award for the dancers and give it only to one race because their life is matter. It's your choice. And no one can judge cause everyone has their own opinion and view of things. But please don't impose your views on everyone. Since childhood Chinese dance in the Nutcracker is my favorite. This dance didn't teach me how to be racist or hate China. On the contrary, I love their culture and country. All your comments and complaints about clothing and appearance are what makes this dance racist

[@NO_NAME_722]

Идеальный вариант китайского танца это два танцующих афроамериканца гея.

[@jmer9126]

Before people attack what you are saying, it would help if they put themselves in your shoes for a bit of time. What if an important work of art had a section that represented their culture in a jumble of disconnected stereotypes? What if that culture was presented a selection of edibles for consumption by the wealthier, more powerful countries? I suppose it is difficult for people to even fathom this if they have not experienced it. I’m sure there’s a way for people to learn about each other’s cultures without unknowingly offending each other. It starts with humility and the intent to be kind.

[@Pizdeckakoi]

Very nice dance!!!

[@ClassicDepravities]

I wonder which is better: present the Chinese dance the way Tchaikovsky wrote it and update nothing, with the understanding that it was written a century ago and this was the norm, or to update the ballet and potentially cut the song altogether. It's not like productions of this haven't cut or shuffled the songs before, but as awkward as it is to see such stereotypes now, it seems like a shame to cut one of the most recognizable songs out of the ballet. I don't have any answers to this, I simply am thinking out loud.

[@helenchelmicka3028]

I think it's not about cutting, but putting things in their right context. Important not to go down a revisionist route, we have to acknowledge history and that isn't the same as condoning it. Easier said than done obv!

Tchaikovsky didn't "write" the dance though, he only composed the music
