[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain the cast/skill correlation, if any? First year family here. [/quote]

Ruby and Sapphire tend to get the "special" shows - Opening night, tea party, Christmas Eve.
You can call it all speculation, but the more senior and experienced dancers tend to be in these casts.

Emerald/Pearl has the reputation of being the less desirable casts[/quote]

In order to dispel the jewel envy, they’ve tried to throw people off the trail  - for instance last year Amethyst was the new Ruby. No ARC show, opening night, the most experienced company dancers. [/quote]

Funny you say this.. we are friends with a principal dancer — she will tell you they pay absolutely NO MIND to the kids. They don’t have jewels. They have contractural rest and their partners get sick. They leave to “guest” all around the US for better pay. Nutcracker breaks them down. They don’t like it. So sorry, you’re wrong!!!! [/quote]

PP here - doth protest too much! “funny you say this” - don’t you realize that everything you just wrote can be right and I’m still not wrong!?!? Of course the principal dancers pay “absolutely NO MIND” about the kids. Of course they don’t have jewels - they’re not 10 year old kids. Of course they don’t love the Nutcracker.  But it is still true that one or two of the jewel cases (for kids) doesn’t perform at the ARC, does opening night or tea party, and according to my eye test, the company still makes an effort to schedule their best principals. Of course family and life intervene so the makeup changes. Clutching my pearls![/quote]

In case there was any confusion I agree with all PPs that the jewels have little or no correlation with kid dancing skill. Only that certain jewels are scheduled differently from others. [/quote]
