I have seen this danced many, many times in my life and just LOVE this exceptional performance. I love Marshall’s animation and theatrics as he almost flirts with the music and captivates the audience. His exceptional strength and musicality makes him very unique and exceptional among danseurs. Lori, your technique is impeccable and your balance is incredible - you make the most difficult steps look effortless. You both are exquisite world class dancers who could dance anywhere in the world you desire, but so incredibly proud you are ours, here in the U.S. Love you both!

[@Life.of.lori.]

Such kind words. Thank you so much! Truly appreciate it♥️

[@kaylin_akaulopez]

Marshall’s face card never declines. His smile dances along with him! And Gosh lori is elegance personified. What a gentle and beautifully executed dancer!! I can’t tell how sore they are or how dead the shoes maybe at ALL ❤❤❤❤

[@Katie_Jo_21]

You were right about the time between the pas and your solo. Crazy stamina. That balance at 4 minutes, or so, in was outstanding! The lifts were perfection.

[@Lyslea]

Nutcracker makes me so happy. I will never get tired of seeing it, brings back the little girl in me everytime. Beautifully danced by both of you.

[@karenward267]

Beautiful. Ballet dancers have to be the equivalent of elite athletes in terms of stamina, conditioning, and incredible skill. I could watch you both all day.

[@angiemeininger]

I love this. And I really appreciate the unity of movement when you both are doing the same moves. Very good.

[@nandinha._.212]

Could you make a video talking about your history with ballet?? Like, the fisrt classes, how it started, when you got the first point shoes, competitions, leveling and others?

[@marybodnar4749]

Watch Lori’s “shorts” here on KZbin. She also has TikTok & Instagram pages where she talks about her dancing history & answers all types of questions. Lori is not only an incredible dancer, shes also an amazing human being!!❤

[@st.godlessness]

she has several videos about them in her shorts

[@atherisGAY]

Wrapping the sheer power and pain needed in such seemingly effortless beauty and elegance... ❤❤❤ Stunning work

[@Mariebelle1313]

Awe thank you for sharing this performance with us! Nutcracker is so magical. Beautiful and great performance ❤

[@lotofbitsabout]

Lori, Im a yearly Nutcracker fanatic and your performance brought me to tears! Absolute perfection, the control and power and your artistry has me spell bound! Standing ovation, 👏💐🌹💐

[@joygrahamtravis1789]

Love love love this! Never knew your Marshall was so perfect 😊! So thrilling to see this.

[@beatesetzer2441]

Soooo beautiful!

[@KateCarew]

You two are such assets to any company that brings you in as freelance dancers. You’re so professional and you work so hard! It shows because you both make it look effortless ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Especially Lori! This is a beautiful pas and the two of you are so well matched as far as skill and talent, it’s a wonder to behold. We know it’s a hard way to work not being secure with a company but you also get so much freedom and flexibility. It only works for the most disciplined though. Valley requires so much devotion and sacrifice within a company, to be freelance is next level as far as self imposed structure goes. You really have to maintain drive and focus to do this. I’m in total awe of you both! Dancing at such a high caliber without a company holding you accountable is WILD. True professionals, to the Nth degree 🙏🏻

[@coreminutes7578]

Lori and Marshall, your jumps, timing together and lifts look so effortless. A wonderful performance, thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Tina

[@romuloduarte4631]

That's my favorite variation from the Sugar Plum Fairy IF not the original. You're amazing, Lori ❤

[@rendell5630]

[@Eurydice-cj6tv]

You both have a lovely lightness in your dancing. A delightful performance.

[@chiaracolombo4155]

[@martinaballroom]

Beautiful as always and that balance! 😮

[@nancymartin2329]

Bravo!🙌

[@ThePecunious]

OMG, beautiful and amazing jumping and dancing!!! Thank you for the video!

[@kymber5817]

Love love love…. I need to express this the right way because when I asked if they were a couple romantically I was roasted by people….. I don’t care straight, gay, bisexual or duck….. I just asked because Patrick Swayze and his wife met through ballet and it was an incredible love story. I know they’ve been dancing together for YEARS. I just wondered if there was more. Now back to the show… absolutely beautiful. Thank You for sharing with us!

[@reachforthestars284]

so so pretty! ❤

[@johnwatts9932]

Beautiful performance....

[@Vic-dd4oy]

Just perfect 👌

[@singamajigy]

Incredible!

[@-.Twinkies.-]

That, I think, has to be my favourite performance of sugar plum ive ever seen. What company are these dancers with?

[@soude85]

They are freelancers!

[@luluwachedjari3299]

I’m so emotionate emotional and emotionated I know only one is English 😂 ❤ Lori so proud of you! I know the sacrifices, the pain etc, as much as I worry for you both health and bodies but indeed I am so proud! You did perfect! You were specially brilliant! In all pas ❤

[@vivianevelard503]

Magnifique 💙

[@soybeandud4732]

Lori’s “heels out” placement in every pose is perfection.

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

That was SUBLIME!!!

[@marikos.154]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@minnauyeda7339]

Lovely. Your partner’s leaps are outstanding. You are light, elegant and sparkle!

[@RachelG1979]

I love the turn at 1:19

[@zoal2802]

😱😱😱😍😍😍😍😍

[@NanaIsMyNickname]

3:30 great teamwork!! ❤❤

[@gayle751]

Would love to know more about your partner. Is he a freelance dancer also? How did you two get together? Love your dedication to ballet. And love your dancing, too.❤

[@queenoffuntravel7709]

Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🩷

[@ileanacastro96]

The final act of me controlling the government begins now royal tings ✨✨💕💕I love em

[@Blind_Bibliophilic_Life]

Lori, towards the end, I know how tired your leg and foot get and how much pain there is sometimes by the end of such a demanding piece, but you executed it like a queen. I’ve never heard so much applause and cheering during the performance. It’s always been after the scene. That would distract me so much. Where was this performed?

[@eleanor9004]

Molto musicale, brava

[@DD-zl5iq]

❤❤

[@helgathegreat]

I was watching thepas des deux of the nutcracker these days in here, and I wanted to watch your interpretation of it as well, Lori, well done, as an (ex) ballerina to another, kisses from England😊❤

[@AthenaMarquez-c6n]

Beautiful I love you sm I wish to be a ballerina one day just like you my name is Athena I'm ten years old I just want to say ballet is my passion ❤😊❤

[@xmjehzzzzzzhx]

How often do you practice together in a week in season?

[@WickedYogaDoll]

Amazing! So glad to see your partner get to solo... show his talent and strength in his own right! No offense, maybe it's ingorant, but it often seems the male dancers are there to show off the ladies. Super stong and powerful but not the stars. Hope that makes sense!

[@martydworkis12345]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to do pump turns and fouettés?

[@juliasprouse9854]

What ballet company is this?

[@KhaliunaaUlziisaikhan]

.

[@atherisGAY]

They're freelancers

[@levidashawty]

[@rosieriveter2882]

[@AlinaHirtlMusic]

mesmerising, just beautiful!

[@TimThumb]
