Bolshoi Ballet | The Nutcracker (December, 2018) - Arabian Dance 1080p 

This takes an incredible amount of control. I don't think people who have never danced understand how difficult this dance is.

This song melts me down every time. I love it very much.

NO ONE is doing it like the bolshoi ballet!!!!!

This dance has been called "Arab", or "Hindu", since its creation. By carefully observing the choreography and the traditional costumes, we can see that the duet takes here the positions of the Gods of India...

The best

Saw this whole show today as part of the Fathom Events broadcast, and this dance was by far the highlight. People in the movie theater applauded.

I agree that this dance was a highlight of the second act, but I also found that the entire corps was spectacular in the snow scene and opening party scene. The principal dancers were also great. I'm sorry the dancer who played the toy Nutcracker was not presented at the final curtain...at least I didn't see her. This was a 2018 production I hope to see a new one next year. Swan lake is coming up within a few mo0nths and I may break down and watch that one. I love the music but have never seen the ballet.

I'm Arab, and I yet have to find a version of this dance which truly feels Arab and uses Eastern moves and costumes.

Incredible! Thank you

Very beautiful 😢

I'm just thankful that this version is one I can show to my students! This dance is so beautiful but all the kids can focus on are how scantily dressed or 'naked' the dancers are in other versions. 🤦‍♀️

spectacular in a weird way

It's wonderful and mesmerizing. Can anyone tell who originally created these beautiful but unusual costumes? Do they date from the premiere of the opera in 1892?

They move like Lotte Reinigers animations

It's Hauntingly Beautiful yet looks more Indian and Taiwanese than it does Arabian- even so, I find it Enchanting!

아랍ᆢ보단 타이나 캄보디아 중국이 떠오르는 안무.

Это имеет мало отношения к арабскому танцу. Так танцуют в Тайланде

Hi please send it

While the dance is inspired by India, Russia is the only country in the world where the Arabian dance costumes in The Nutcracker are inspired by Middle East. The other ones in ROH etc. give me a headache.

am i the only one here using it for dance in school?

ボリショイってテンポゆっくりだよね、、ドS！

e학습터로 인해끌려왔다.......

Lllllkjj

Why is dance called 'Arabian' when what we see is seriously badly version of Thai?

Original interpretation of this Ballet doesn't look like that
