Nutcracker and the Four Victorian Dances

Nutcracker and the Four Victorian Dances

Nutcracker and the Mouse King was originally written in 1816. It was not scored as a ballet was until 1892. What happened in-between was the passing of the Regency era and the onset of the Victorian era. The Nutcracker Ballet captures the highlights of popular dances from the Victorian era.

The most popular dances of the Victorian era were the round dances like the waltz and the polka. Improvisational round dances embraced the coming freedoms of the 20th century. Between rounds dancers would engage in cotillions, mixers, and quadrilles. Step up and experience the Nutcracker in a new way with princess Clara as she dances popular Victorian dances inspired by the music of Tchaikovsky.
