Middle picture: Don’t try this at home…it’s Dove of Peace in which\u00a0two\u00a0dancers become one.<\/p>\n
Unless you have a child or relative who’s serious about ballet, you probably shouldn’t take a first date\u00a0to The Nutcracker performed solely by local school\u00a0kids. There are no hard, fast rules–just consider yourself warned that if you’re going to turn someone\u00a0onto this classic, a slow-moving amateur production can have the opposite effect, turning some first-timers into Nutcracker haters.\u00a0\u00a0Your best opportunity to go nuts starts this week with the\u00a0Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker<\/a>. 80 of the top world talents that have included Olympic gold medal winners, appear in a\u00a0ballet production that’s a spectacle to behold. In the ballet world, it’s\u00a0Gold! \u00a0This year’s Great Russian Nutcracker appears in 6 California cities — Bakersfield (Nov. 6), Cupertino (Dec. 19), Los Angeles (Dec. 21), Santa Rosa (Dec. 20), Santa Ynez (Nov. 6 & Dec. 18), and San Diego (Dec. 16). \u00a0See this production first and if you’re hooked take a look at others.
