I have seen professional "Nut Cracker" performances and a more of recital version with substandard results. This was a great performance for the money.
My family and I had never seen the Nutcracker before. We all honestly felt like ACT I was really boring. ACT II was really much better. We enjoyed the music and the actual ballerinas. I know you can't change ACT I but something should be done to make it more appealing???
THIS EVENT WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE QUALITY AS IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. THE SCENE BACKGROUND AND OUTFITS ECT HAVE ALL IMPROVED, BUT THE SKILLS WERE NOT QUITE WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST.
Wonderful performance by talented young performers.
The show was wonderful especially considering that it was a private dance group putting it on not a professional ballet!! Amazed at the lead dancers. My only concern was with the tickets I purchased. I purchased the more expensive tickets in a group of 5. When we arrived, much to my dismay, our family of 5 was not seated together. Apparently in row M, there are 2 seats on each end that are in the upper section. :( So my family outing didn't turn out quite like expected since we had to sit separately. Great show!!
For an amateur ballet company, they put on an incredible show. Most dancers are still students (under 18), but they do a very good job. The choreography, sets and costumes are at the level of the professional companies. We were very impressed by this show.
I was impressed with this Ballet. Its so nice that Las Cruces has this. We go every year and have been to the Nutcracker in other cities as well. This is great for kids. The costumes are great and they dont make it too long. My biggest complaint is the russian dancing part. I wish they would do the traditional russian dancing like they do in others that I have seen. That is a major part of the nutcracker and this company just kind of skips over it. VERY dissapointing. Other than that its great!
