The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The libretto is adapted from E.T.A Hoffman's story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. It premiered on December 18, 1892.

Here are nine male ballet dancers dancing their interpretation. You can watch each approximate one minute video individually, or watch them all back to back in the eight minute video below. Rate your first, second and third favorite in the form below the video. You may have to turn up the sound on some of them.

NOTE: The original video compilation had the name Sergei Polunin appearing at the beginning. The actual dancer's name will appear once you start the video.
