Desiree Debose had always been a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Born and raised in Chicago, she had grown up surrounded by the city's vibrant music scene and had honed her skills as a dancer in the clubs and bars of the Windy City. But despite her talent and passion, she had always felt like something was missing. That all changed when she met Jerome Washington, a black man with a dream of starting his own record label. Jerome was immediately taken with Desiree's energy and spirit, and he saw in her the perfect partner to help him launch his label. Together, they began to work on a new sound that blended elements of pop, easy listening, worldbeat, and EDM to create a unique and infectious style. As they worked, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago and see the world grew stronger, and she began to dream of a life beyond the city limits. Enter Jack Lee, a white dancer from Freeman Country, Virginia. Jack had been traveling the world, performing in clubs and bars and honing his own unique style. When he met Desiree and Jerome, he was immediately drawn to their energy and their music. The three of them began to dance together, and as they did, something magical happened. The music they created together was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before, a fusion of styles and rhythms that seemed to transcend borders and boundaries. As they performed together, Desiree's desire to leave Chicago began to fade, replaced by a newfound love for the music and the people she had found in Jerome and Jack. She knew that she had found her place in the world, and that she would never be content to stay in one place for too long. The thrill of the road and the rush of the stage were her home now, and she knew that she would always be a wanderer at heart. And so, Desiree, Jerome, and Jack set out on a journey to leave Chicago behind and take their music to the world. They danced through the nightclubs and waltzed through the trips, spreading their unique sound and their message of love and unity wherever they went. And as they did, they knew that they were changing the world, one dance at a time.

[@nompuehuenu]

the story behind it it's even sadder. Tchaikovsky wasn't really sure how to approach the Nutcracker, since he worked in more somber and dignified ballets before (the sleeping beauty and the swan lake) but this was commissioned and he couldn't say no, so there he was, uninspired. The Nutcracker's joyful and dreamlike story wasn't his forte, not when the man battled with depression for so long. He went to visit his family to soothe his mind, but a tragic event happened and his brother didn't have the heart to tell him, so Tchaikovsky heard the news when he came back to Moscow. His sister, the person he loved the most, passed away. It was then when he composed this piece as he imagined his sister dancing to it, maybe he remembered the days where they were younger and united as family, playing and opening gifts in Christmas just like Clara at the beginning of the story, maybe that was what made him realize how important this ballet was. A fun time for the family, a story of hope that in the end was just a mere dream. He really put his heart into this piece and the sorrowful acceptance is so vivid in it!

The way I found happiness was hard because you must feel happy with your own to be happy with your partner. Then move on be confident with your personality, share time with people who add positive value to your life and avoid toxic relationships. Once you get there, you will find a supportive partner, but never forget you must be happy with or without him/her.

@ClandestineOstrich you must build your self-confidence and happiness on your own. Support from a partner is a gift, it should make you happier because it is a fulfill experience. But you can't rely on people support, you can't "need" someone's support because that is not healthy. You can build your energy from doing workout and working on your art daily will make you more attractive and self-confident. Eventually you will feel stronger mentally as you feel fit.

It seems to stand out more than all the other pieces in Nutcracker. There is a sense of tragedy, loss, and fatalism which would mark the last music Tchaikovsky ever composed. The thrilling climaxes and crescendos. This is so moving. I can hear the heartache. It's a winter ballad. It's falling snow deep snow on the ground in the forest a snow storm keeping lovers apart from each other. Absolutely shattering and amazing. At least in this pas de deux Spivakov truly 'got' Tchaikovsky and understood everything. I am in tears.

Tchaikovsky expressed his musical ideas with emotion, without which the music becomes boring. It isn't just about playing the notes: when the orchestra play with emotion then the listener just might get to feel the soulfulness of the music. And when the feelings are expressed in performance, and the listening audience connects with those feelings, wow 💣💥😍

I went to a Nutcracker concert during this Christmas break, it was I think my first time in a real spectacle with an orchestra and everything. Let me tell you people, if you already love this song on KZbin , then you definitely should try, one time in your life, to go listen to it with an actual orchestra playing live in front of you. My heart pumped out of my chest at the momentum/catharsis of the song. I had the luck to listen to the music while looking at two ballet dancers who were dancing a duet with beautiful dresses and there even was fake snow at the end of the song/choreography. It was magical, I was in Fairyland. The overall show was good, but this was extraordinary, I swear to god I’ll try to attend to a Swan lake representation one day too. The only frustration came from the people who clapped before the last symbal, because they obviously didn’t know the song or didn’t know it well enough but hey, I though screw them 😂

[@thefreckledcormarant6431]

The main part of the melody is a downward scale. A downward scale! Have you ever heard such an emotionally expressive downward scale in your life?

[@TheJHBfilms]

The Freckled Cormarant no its not a scale each note isnt a whole step down

[@thefreckledcormarant6431]

Obviously the whole thing's not a scale: I mean those first eight notes on the strings, after the harp has set the scene. That phrase, which appears again and again through the piece in various musical costumes (e.g. relative minor at 0:30), is a downward scale, isn't it, surely? I'll concede he does sprinkle a little rhythmical change on it to turn it into a tune - you'd get a frown from your music examiner playing one in that rhythm - but that's the wonder of it: with a touch of creativity a great composer can turn something basic into gold.

[@johnshaw2036]

Try listning to "Aase's Death" from the Peer Gynt suite. It's a musical portrait of an old, seriously ill woman seemingly getting better followed by a downward motif indicating she's not getting better after all. I will never understand how orchestra members can stay dry eyed while performing it.

As a ballerina, I can think of when I hear this piece is backstage at my favorite old theater, it’s a week before Christmas. The whole cast is waiting in the wings for finale, silently shuffling around while watching this beautiful dance take place. There’s a revered silence and energy in the air, like everyone’s holding their breath, a brief moment of calm in the storm. The beautiful music coming through the speakers so loud and reverbing off of the high domed ceiling you can feel it in your bones. Time warps, going so fast while going so slow. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling when the audience erupts into applause at the end and everyone backstage is cheering and clapping too, and listening to this piece without it just feels so empty. 2020 was the first time in 10 years I went without it. I know someday I will be the sugar plum fairy and have the honor of performing this dance, but for now I just get to sit here and cry, reminiscing on some of the best times of my life, and how much I’ve missed out on.
