Before that, to prepare for the official performance of the play “The Nutcracker”, the organizing committee selected child actors through 3 rounds, including: sending dance videos of the contestants online for the jury to judge, competing live at the Vietnam National Ballet, and finally the final round on October 9.
“The Nutcracker” is brought to Vietnam this Christmas season by a famous Russian Ballet Theater. “The Nutcracker” is a classic ballet, adapted from the fairy tale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by German writer ETA Hoffman. The genius composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky perfected this ballet with its strangely captivating music. “The Nutcracker” is also a “key” performance of the world’s largest ballet companies, especially during Christmas every year. In the US, “The Nutcracker” has become a must-perform ballet for all ballet companies. 40% of these companies’ annual profits come from “The Nutcracker”. “The Nutcracker” is a play dedicated to young audiences with lovely fairy tale colors. Everything is miniature, extremely innocent and charming. Besides, the music composed by Tchaikovsky and the graceful, attractive dances have also captivated audiences of different ages. The dream world with lots of joy and mischief, love and bravery in “The Nutcracker” will be recreated on the Vietnamese stage on December 3, 2016. |

As a result, both of them entered the top 20 to practice with famous artists from the land of the White Birch for 2 months in Hanoi before the official performance.

Ms. Nguyen Thanh Thao, dance teacher and the person who sent Tra and Quyen's video clip, said: The two girls started studying dance sport nearly 2 years ago, but it was only after their dance clip was judged by the jury that they began to learn about the concept of ballet.
