"Snow Pas de Deux"

~ Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, A Scene In The Pine Forest

A continuation of In The Pince Forest where Clara (Sparrow) and the Prince (Gabriel) dance together just as the Snow Queen and her king arrive with the flurry of snowflake dancers behind them.

If you go on the theory that everything from the Battle Scene on is Clara's dream, I like to think Drosselmeyer's cute nephew caught Clara's eye enough for him to take the shape of the handsome Nutcracker prince in her mind. What young girl wouldn't want to dance with a prince?
