Below you will find our interactive guide, a movement video lesson, and two excerpts from The Hard Nut, Snow (Waltz of the Snowflakes) and Flowers (Waltz of the Flowers).ĭid you know that the “snow” in this piece is made of paper punch-outs in the shapes of stars or the plus sign? About 20 pounds are used for each performance, much of it is recycled from show to show. Our first Dance Lab is based on Mark Morris’s holiday classic, The Hard Nut.
