Bianca and Andrés discuss the Nutcracker Ballet by Tchaikovsky, the annual tradition that you either love or hate.

It get's "butts in seats," and it features surprise butts for people who have never seen ballet before.

For some ballet dancers, it's something they never want to hear again, for others, they enjoy taking part in the annual tradition.

We share the history, our own favorite moments and experiences, and break down the ballet scene by scene.

We discuss the best and worst moments in one of the most popular ballets.

Bianca and Andrés get into how it plays a role in the holiday season and shapes our view of dance in America.
