Remixing one of New York's biggest holiday traditions: The Nutcracker

WNYC News

Each year, thousands of visitors flood to Lincoln Center to see George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker" on stage. In the ballet, a little girl is gifted a wooden nutcracker on Christmas Eve and goes on a holiday adventure through her snowy, fantastical dreams with the doll, which turns into a prince.

Among those in the crowd this year were David Zohar and Pacha Suwansuksanti: two students at Ballet Tech, the New York City Public School for Dance. They joined forces with WNYC host Michael Hill to give their take on a holiday classic.
