Boston ballet surprised me in their choreography and high level of solid technique. Wonderful dancers. A joy to watch with such powerful music. Royal ballet is a disappointment. I expected to see more. Mariinsky keeping it authentic. The only place in the world that we can still see the original work from a hundred years ago.

[@Newsbro89]

I would say they were had the best choreography for this dance scene. I have seen this nutcracker hundreds of times from different ballet companies and I keep coming back to Boston’s as the best for this choreography and their technique.

[@henricoshawty85]

Boston pulled up and showed out!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 By far the best in my opinion. BRAVO!!! 😊

[@bobbiecat7139]

I love all three. How can you choose between excellent...excellent...and...excellent. Have always been an admirer of different interpretations.

[@apriltrusty13]

Boston is by far the most fun and exciting, but the set is a bit somber. Still, this is the one I’d most prefer to watch! Royal… their technique is thrilling, but I can’t stand Clara and the Nutcracker elbowing their way into literally every divertissement. Can’t these two let everyone else have their moments to shine!? The set is even more somber than Boston. Mariinsky… is enjoyable enough, I suppose! Thanks for making this comparison!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate it! :)

[@user-nk2tv4zc7h]

Русский танец в бостонской версии выглядит как украинский, в том числе и костюмы. Русский балет лучший!

[@helengarrett6378]

Mariinsky was very folkloric but not terribly exciting. Boston provided the most excitement and was a joy to see. Royal ballet was plain. No other word. Just plain.

[@EricMontreal22]

And of course in the original, this dance was danced by candy canes (usually teenage boys with one adult lead) with hoops. Balanchine essentially recreated this for his version, as has the filmed Berlin Ballet's semi reconstruction of the 1892 original.

THIS is the quality of Russian dances (from the Nutcracker) that one would regularly see televised in the '50s and '60s. This is first-rate ballet.

[@FirstLast-iv2tc]

Boston Ballet is my favorite. The Royal Ballet had a different musical arrangement and made it seem less exciting. The dancers were phenomenal though.

[@Newsbro89]

The Boston ballet by far takes the prize for best choreography and technique of the male dancers. I used to dance this every year when I was younger, and I have seen the nutcracker hundreds of times from dozens of different companies and I keep coming back to the Boston Ballet company for this specific dance.

[@adrianavargova]

Bravo to all three 🎉 They felt very "Russian" authentic!

[@candidacarino669]

I just love those high flying middle splits 'movements' by all the male dancers from 3 different dance companies, namely, the Boston Ballet & the Royal Ballet & the Mariinsky Ballet ❤ ❤. Too, I also quite adore the three women dancers: Royal Ballet's Iohna Loots who is also a ballet coach at Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Tanya Pearson Ballet Academy; Alisa Petrenko & Maria Lebedeva from the Mariinsky Ballet ❤ ❤ ❤. Tho for this compilation video, I give my vote to the 'Boston Ballet' who had danced so wonderfully ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤! Thank you always to @DanceLine Ballet ❤ 😊.

[@candidacarino669]

I'm just guessing, could it be this amazing Boston Ballet Nutcracker 'Russian Dance' perhaps was performed by . . facing my mob screen, on the left is 'Mamuka Kikalishvili' a dancer as well as martial artist, from Poti City Georgia . . . in the middle is Boston Ballet principal dancer 'Derek Dunn' . . . and on the right is 'Sun Woo Lee' from South Korea and he's an artist at the Boston Ballet.

[@insaelliott1318]

[@candidacarino669]

To @insaelliott1318, thank you very much for the info! And am glad to know 'Lee' is now a Soloist and very soon he will be a principal dancer ❤❤❤ !

[@insaelliott1318]

@@candidacarino669 I hope so. We're season ticket holders and I'm a big fan!

[@Newsbro89]

The one aspect of the Royal Ballet’s I appreciate is them including Clara in the dancing. You usually don’t see that in most choreography. Usually the nutcracker prince does join in at some point but I’ve never seen Clara join except from the Royal ballet company.

[@trishayamada807]

I preferred the Boston version as I think the women in the other versions seemed off. I wasn’t fond of them. They all though, are beautiful.

[@Solessya1]

Бостон - великолепно, прекрасные костюмы

[@jorgegustavoocamposcaceres5656]

I liked how Royal Ballet danced. It was too much great!

[@helalsanaya]

The royal ballet best

[@thedivinegoddess2001]

Royal ballet choreography was spectacular

[@siewheilou399]

Why in second one Marie is part of the dance while in the others Marie is only an observer?

[@mariapspadopulou9898]

Mariinsky is the best!

[@MrQbenDanny]

My top 2. MARIINSKY- Authenticity BOSTON- For sneaking in a fantastic hopscotching bravura more in the style of "Graduation Ball" than Russian dance, but who cares, I certainly don't. That principal in center is "Baryshnikov APPROVED 😅". BRAVO 👏!!! Loved it!!! The Royal, "Not Petipa approved". Awful.

[@mrpsclas]

Has it always been acceptable to applaud during the performance? I’m kinda old school when it comes to symphonies, having been taught since I was a kid not to applaud until the end. I was wondering if there was any old ballet etiquette like that.

[@kellireimers32]

If it was only the orchestra then no, it would not be acceptable. When you add ballet to it the dynamic changes and people are moved to applaud during impressive moments of technique.

[@natcat555]

Ich bin überrascht, wie synchron Boston war. Ansonsten gefällt mir das Royal Ballet am besten.

[@provotpchik3382]

Бостонский вариант русского танца нельзя вообще рассматривать как русскую плясовую. Это украинский гопак. Это тоже самое, если ирландский Кейли назвать Валлийским танцем.

[@dmitrykim3096]

Boston ballet lags behind the music

[@provotpchik3382]

Королевский балет просто за гранью. Русская плясовая это танец на празднике, молодые люди собираются нарядные, чтобы познакомиться. Во время танцев знакомятся. А здесь два бородатых мужика в рабочей одежде странно скачут. Ни одно полного элемента народного танца. Ни единого смысла. Машу кидают от одного к другому, это неприлично для дворянки 19 века.

[@rimmadamova5778]

Да, танец с Машей был просто неприличен для России 19 века, это же не Голливуд 20 века. Тоже неприятно поразило.

[@user-dr5mg3po7o]

я вообще не поняла, что у них двоих за костюм.

[@mariakihl2583]

@@user-dr5mg3po7o Так русские извозчики одевались в 19-м веке.

[@electrictofumuffins6384]

Boston looked impoverished. Royal was my favorite, fun and magical.

[@lilakatze]

Royal ballet was ridiculous here. Do they have other versions of the dance? This one was painful to watch. The dancers are good, the costumes and the directing are hideous

[@mariakihl2583]

I was laughing out loud at these ridiculous costumes: that's how the public cab drivers in 19 century's Russia looked like.
