Next comes the Chinese (tea), with two lead dancers accompanied by eight little girls with parasols; then a Marzipan shepherd and shepherdess, with four adorable little girls as sheep. The Russian variation is always the most exciting, as the five men jump, stomp and cheer in fine style; the lead Russian on opening night, Christopher Buzdinski, wowed with his amazing jumps and consecutive flying splits.
