response: Really?  Bye the way, have you seen The Nutcracker, the two act ballet?
original_response: I totally agree! Have you ever seen The Nutcracker? I think that is my all-time favorite ballet. It doesn't feel like Christmas until I've seen it.
history: I enjoy going to ballet performances, especially with my girlfriend. She used to dance ballet, and her critiques of the performers are hilarious. I'll bet! Does she prefer traditional classical ballets or the modern ballets? I'll have to ask her, but my guess would be classical. I think they're easier to critique, because modern ballet can be so avant garde and ''do whatever you want.'' Ah.  Apparently classical ballet has more elaborate staging and costumes, compared to modern ballet. Yeah it is! So much of the story can be told before you even look at the movements of the dancers, because of makeup and costuming.
knowledge: A well-known example of this is ''The Nutcracker'', a two-act ballet originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a music score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
