Speaking of The Nutcracker, you can now watch videos of various Nutcrackers at youtube, including the Baryshnikov version - Bary's looking hawt!

The Royal Ballet does a nice version of the Chocolate, Coffee & Tea dances.

And the Waltz of the Flowers
My first Nutcracker was 1979 at the Pennsylvania Ballet.
There is apparently a Manhattan S&M club called The Nutcracker Suite.
