Fokine Ballet performs the Nutcracker in Oneonta

Wherever in the world you find ballet, you'll find the Nutcracker -- and the wilds of upstate New York are no exception. This Friday and Saturday, the Fokine Ballet Company performs Tchaikovsky's most popular ballet at the Goodrich Theater at SUNY Oneonta.

The Fokine Ballet Company features professional dancers from Poland, Russia, and the NYC metropolitan area as well as local students at the Decker School of Ballet. For a glimpse of what Oneonta theatergoers are in for this weekend, check out the video below: A clip from a 2008 Fokine Ballet production of the Nutcracker, featuring Russian dancer Eugene Petrov as a soloist in the Russian Variation.
