I have seen this danced many, many times in my life and just LOVE this exceptional performance. I love Marshall’s animation and theatrics as he almost flirts with the music and captivates the audience. His exceptional strength and musicality makes him very unique and exceptional among danseurs. Lori, your technique is impeccable and your balance is incredible - you make the most difficult steps look effortless. You both are exquisite world class dancers who could dance anywhere in the world you desire, but so incredibly proud you are ours, here in the U.S. Love you both!
Such kind words. Thank you so much! Truly appreciate it♥️
Yes Lori!! Perfection and your beautiful aura, smile, and engagement with your partner and the audience shows you truly LOVE what you do!! My daughter is 10 and is dancing her 4th Nutcracker this year and I always enjoy watching the guest principals dance these roles every year. Sometimes I the only one in the audience screaming and giving standing ovations! I feel like the audience doesn’t appreciate the work of professional dancers! Bravo you guys!!!
I seriously could just watch Lori dance all day.
You were right about the time between the pas and your solo. Crazy stamina. That balance at 4 minutes, or so, in was outstanding! The lifts were perfection.
My thoughts on the balance at 4:00
@@rosaliemoon5905same! Amazing!
Marshall’s face card never declines. His smile dances along with him! And Gosh lori is elegance personified. What a gentle and beautifully executed dancer!! I can’t tell how sore they are or how dead the shoes maybe at ALL ❤❤❤❤
I'm mesmerized by your performance, your partnet did a great job too. You dance like a dream and it's impossible not to follow all your moves and facial expressions. Absolutely beautiful!
I have seen over 50 performances of the Nutcracker and this has to be my favorite. The technical skill is impeccable but the raw passion and emotion is so joyful to see. I wish to see Ms. Hernandez dance in person one day even if I have to cross the country to do so. I'm almost in tears from the beauty and emotions her dancing evokes.
Lori is one of those ballerinas that keeps her sparkle just a little dulled until she hits the stage. That’s when she lets her true gift and artistry shine!
Beautifully and professionally executed!
Not a crumb to be found anywhere!
I’m a recent follower, and I’ve been obsessed with your shorts! I’ve always wanted to try ballet but never got into it as a young kid. I’m almost 18 and I’m going to take some adult classes for fun, it’s truly a majestic sport ❤
Go for it!
I started ballet classes when I was 15 yrs.
Just for fun.
It really improved my posture
@ you’re right, I’ll definitely get into it then, ty!
It’s never too late! Enjoy!❤
Beautiful. Ballet dancers have to be the equivalent of elite athletes in terms of stamina, conditioning, and incredible skill. I could watch you both all day.
Nutcracker makes me so happy. I will never get tired of seeing it, brings back the little girl in me everytime. Beautifully danced by both of you.
Gave me chills more than once and reminded me of my intense experience watching it live as a child
I love this. And I really appreciate the unity of movement when you both are doing the same moves. Very good.
Köszönjük!
Wow! Beautiful Coupling, strong and elegant choreography, precision to perfection, and the lifts take my breath away! You two darlings are the epic “…Vision of Sugar Plums Dancing…” in any child’s dreams, and inside a precious antique music box keepsake. I’m captivated and entranced in a fantasyland, until the drop of a thermos 7:40brings me back to reality!😂 I love LOVE this performance & You! xoxo 👑🍭🤍⚔️💐
Could you make a video talking about your history with ballet?? Like, the fisrt classes, how it started, when you got the first point shoes, competitions, leveling and others?
Watch Lori’s “shorts” here on UA-cam. She also has TikTok & Instagram pages where she talks about her dancing history & answers all types of questions. Lori is not only an incredible dancer, shes also an amazing human being!!❤
she has several videos about them in her shorts
What a number Lori! Je suis époustouflée par votre grâce, votre technique, votre précision, vous êtes magnifique ! Un Grand BRAVO !❤
Have never really watched ballet. Ive become addicted to the shorts you've released. Never considered what you go through until now.
Im hooked now
Lori, your dancing is absolutely incredible! Your movements are so crisp and precise while also being graceful and powerful! Even through this video you’re able to convey the truly magical feeling of the nutcracker. I’m in awe :) 💗
Awe thank you for sharing this performance with us! Nutcracker is so magical. Beautiful and great performance ❤
Absolutely amazing Lori. 👏 ❤
Oh my goodness Lori that was amazing... I love you guys, you guys are such a cute couple it just made me cry tears of joy❤❤
she dances SO BEAUTIFULLY they all do Lori I love u keep up the dance-mazing work:)))
Ty 4 sharing cuz ive never been to a ballet, so lovely 🤩✌🏼
You two are such assets to any company that brings you in as freelance dancers.
You’re so professional and you work so hard! It shows because you both make it look effortless ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Especially Lori! This is a beautiful pas and the two of you are so well matched as far as skill and talent, it’s a wonder to behold.
We know it’s a hard way to work not being secure with a company but you also get so much freedom and flexibility.
It only works for the most disciplined though.
Valley requires so much devotion and sacrifice within a company, to be freelance is next level as far as self imposed structure goes.
You really have to maintain drive and focus to do this.
I’m in total awe of you both!
Dancing at such a high caliber without a company holding you accountable is WILD.
True professionals, to the Nth degree 🙏🏻
gorgeous!!!! i love how effortless you make it all look and how much fun marshall looks like he’s having. so much emotion and fun
Gorgeous!! Beautiful fouettés!!
Wrapping the sheer power and pain needed in such seemingly effortless beauty and elegance... ❤❤❤ Stunning work
I had to cry while watching this. Thank you for you effort Lori, you dance beautifully. ❤
Lori and Marshall, your jumps, timing together and lifts look so effortless. A wonderful performance, thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Tina
Beautiful Lori💕
Lori, Im a yearly Nutcracker fanatic and your performance brought me to tears! Absolute perfection, the control and power and your artistry has me spell bound! Standing ovation, 👏💐🌹💐
I got absolute chills watching this. you are both amazing dancers. Hello from Australia
That's my favorite variation from the Sugar Plum Fairy IF not the original.
You're amazing, Lori ❤
I have never seen the Nutcracker before so this was a real treat to watch you and your partner. Just beautiful ❤❤❤
Love love love this! Never knew your Marshall was so perfect 😊! So thrilling to see this.
Soooo beautiful and graceful!! ❤
THE LIFTS WERE PERFECTION!
Grace, technique, STRENGTH…. Good Lord, you can really tell how much you guys rehearse!
The ONLY thing I saw that I think the audience notices is being a little less synchronized than you could be when you are dancing identical steps side-by-side. The audience really notices when dancers aren’t perfectly together, holding the same plane with arms and legs.
Just one thing out of all that beauty and perfection??
That’s an A+ performance!!!!!
Love y’all!
Beautiful!!!! I love Nutcracker season because every company does things a little bit differently, so it's fun to to see who does what. I love your sugar plum variation - incredible!!!
Lori your lines are exquisite and your face just radiates a beauty when you are dancing that I dont see when you just do your shorts (not dancing). Stay healthy and do what you love!!☮️
Marshall is a great match for you on stage and a superb dancer of his own right!
What a wonderful performance! You both were amazing, thank you for sharing this with us, Lori! ❤❤❤
thank you for feeding us so many performances
😮 it doesn't even seams painful it looks so natural and light
I could watch Lori do this all day!!! You and your partners craft brings us to tears. This is amazing!! 🥲
I absolutely loved every second of this. You 2 bring a whole different light and fun energy to your pas and your solos! I ESPECIALLY loved the little bits of contemporary ballet being thrown in during the beginning pas. I’ve been involved in Ballet my entire life(since I was 2) and I’m going to turn 49 in a week. Throughout my transition as student to pre-professional performer to going to college and earning my degree in Dance to becoming a professional dancer to becoming a BaIlet Mistress at numerous schools over my lifespan let’s just say I’ve been involved in almost every aspect of The Nutcracker😂
All that to say, I’ve seen so many amazing and technically perfect Sugar Plum variations performed but so many were just technique and kind of….bla. You 2 know your characters, and you involve acting and emotions and even a bit of comedy to your choreography and it’s truly a breath of fresh air to watch this.
Side note: That Clara was 💯 in her feels and so precious to watch. She’s just as much of the performance as the dancers and whatever company this is has wowed me with the attention to detail in every aspect. I still have the chills from watching this-the good kind!
❤This will Never get Old❤
Simply beautiful 🤩
Just beautiful Lori!!
Bravo Lori! You are elegant, talented and so beautiful. I could watch you over and over. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤
Wauw! This performance is incredible! Soooooo good & beautiful! Chapeau to the both of you! This must have taken a lot (!) of practice! Love watching this/you!
Elegance, and grace. Beautiful.
Omg the perfection of the movements 😮
MAGICAL!!!!!!! BREATHTAKING!!!!!
Brilliant performance.
There are obviously things that I’m not going to love from the choreography, that’ll happen as long as people have opinions, but this dance was executed beautifully. You and your partner have so much onstage chemistry and that constant smile and grace is just so perfectly done. And that stamina! This was amazing Lori, thank you for sharing it
Being in the nutcracker is such a fun memory I have of my youth. I really do wish I went professional when I got offered so I could’ve done it for so much longer, because nutcracker season was my very very favorite. I was Clara until I was from 10-12 which I personally loved. Then I was lead marzipan for a few years, then my first big role was rat queen/king which was probably my favorite just because we were always goofy ing around backstage and crawling everywhere😭😅. I kept auditioning for rat king/ queen because I loved it so much. After my ratting😅 I finally auditioned for sugar plum which was so incredibly surreal. I could not believe it, it just felt so magical! I was amazed. So happy for you and all the cast for this magical and wonderful experience!🩷🩷🩷🩷💕💕💕💓💓💖💖💖
So wonderful!🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤💖🇵🇭🤗
Man that dude can fly. Amazing and always a smile. I enjoyed girl too, at times i felt she lacked fluidity but still a joy to watch. The synchronization was impeccable.
I’ve been to the nutcracker so many times I love it! My cousins were principle dancers in it
❤
So on the music! I cried. Love your videos, Lori!
So beautifully done. BRAVO! ❤😊❤
This was marvelous to watch.
Stunning performance by you Lori, by you both!
You both have a lovely lightness in your dancing. A delightful performance.
A masterpiece! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
She makes it look so easy!
This is so beautiful, thank you so much!
You both are incredible and such an inspiration
Stunning!❤❤❤
Man she danced gracefully ✨✨
My favorite pair to watch dance I’ve ever seen😍
Beautiful as always and that balance! 😮
OMG, beautiful and amazing jumping and dancing!!! Thank you for the video!
I've watched this over and over. I truly love watching your artistry. The way you place yourself on point is so exact. I've never seen such precision, and it is throughout the entire performance. The way you dance made me curious, so i went and watched every video of other ballerinas and their partners performing this I could find. The differences were unexpected!! In some instances, the choreography was much simpler. In some, the ballerinas looked actually sloppy in their movements. Is this even a fair way to think? Each dancer is so different, and the interpretation is so personal. I can't help but think maybe a dancer has been dancing for so long that the steps and movements are second nature. It is very clear that you are actively involved with every movement you make. You are fully present, invested in each second. It's great to watch your interaction with your partner. The coordination in the partnership is truly beautiful. I've often wondered why partners aren't together with their movements all of the time. Seeing how you and he are spot on shows clearly how awesome it is! Literally, I never have seen it done so well as here. It shows how much this adds to the artistry and richness of the dance. I could continue. Know I admire you and your artistry and work ethics. Dance on Lori, dance. You are an amazing person.
Pretty! Its so sweet when Clara claps the fouetté also
so amazing and beautiful to actually see you and your partner perform after following your short form content for a while. i got chills. love your work❤
So beautiful...such a wonderful performance...thankyou Lori!
This is art. ❤️
So Incredibly Beautiful !!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
You should post one from this year 2024 as you're with a different partner.
You are INCREDIBLE ❤❤❤
That, I think, has to be my favourite performance of sugar plum ive ever seen. What company are these dancers with?
They are freelancers!
I'm so excited to go to my first ballet ever! I bet seeing it live is a different experience 😊
3:30 great teamwork!! ❤❤
You two are so strong, what incredible stamina from you lori! You are a true ballerina. Elegent, powerful, beautiful!
Love love love…. I need to express this the right way because when I asked if they were a couple romantically I was roasted by people….. I don’t care straight, gay, bisexual or duck….. I just asked because Patrick Swayze and his wife met through ballet and it was an incredible love story.
I know they’ve been dancing together for YEARS. I just wondered if there was more.
Now back to the show… absolutely beautiful. Thank You for sharing with us!
Beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤💐🙏🕊️
Exquisite dancing both of you ❤
Beautiful performance....
