ready to get into the holiday spirit the
classic children's Nutcracker of course
is the way to go
oh we were there the other day and it's
just it is just wonderful and it is
going to be at the Majestic Theatre the
first time they the children's ballet
has been at the Majestic Theatre and
just take a look at these because they
are so talented
[Music]
you know I've had my practice with
mother ginger so I figured I could do
this too so
[Music]
well now that it's November it's getting
to be time for the Nutcracker and
there's a lot of performances and one
especially by the children's Ballet of
San Antonio and Vanessa Bessler is the
founder and artistic director of the
children's ballet
what's better than the Nutcracker I mean
it's just the classic ballet right yes
we're so excited to open the holidays
with the first Nutcracker of the city on
November 15 and 16 at the Majestic
Theatre first time at the Majestic
Theatre right it's our first time I see
majestic but not just that it's very
special because we're an official event
of the tricentennial celebration so
there is can be a lot of surprises to
celebrate our wonderful city including
Posadas Navi Dania with pinatas and a
folkloric dances and among other twists
that we are doing to the sari so still
the classic ballet that everybody knows
but then you throw those little bits of
San Antonio in there right absolutely we
are the only professional level
production that have a casting starting
at 3 heroes to 19 year olds and they
have the opportunity all to be
recognized but we highlight dancers as
early as 7 and 8 year olds in
significant roles in the production so
everybody from just the little itty
bittys up to the young ladies and
gentlemen that have been dancing for
years are all in this right absolutely
about how many total in the production
we are close to 200 at least a while and
including there is gonna be like music
and like choir and in some of the these
things are fantastic so now this is not
only a great way for even little ones to
get started in ballet but obviously the
older dancers that have been doing it
for a while and then I mean next step is
basically the world right yes and what's
it feel like to know that I mean right
there along that warm up bar maybe the
next mr. Copeland or Mikhail Baryshnikov
yes yes we actually I encourage
everybody in San Antonio to come see
these dancers because we in 2000 mp18
has break records of achieving awards
that never had been awarded to it dancin
in San Antonio so these dancers are
working super hard we are putting our
heart and soul to give them the tools
that they need to go there and conquer
the world and now we need this audience
the common support distances that are
taking our name and the percentage San
Antonio so high so really world-class
dancers basically in our own kind of
neighborhood production at our theater
and the classic watch between three four
years you might have to teleport to New
York to be able to good point good point
hey can you show please Carlos I will
not crack here
she holds it back so strong but he's
trying to keep he's trying to go with
the access of her body because if Iran
goes away from her she's gonna fall good
dr. Mike so do that and then I go back
like this way you watch this Joel did
you watch your shoulder
watch your shoulder okay okay the other
hand you're a breaking soul
[Music]
