It depends on the dance, but for the Nutcracker, I'd say do smile. See what other people are doing. Just try to "match" the other dancers on stage.

since you want to be graceful, mabey you should do like a pretty smile with your mouth closed, not a big showing your teeth smile. i know that sounds weird, but i think a big huge smile would look weird. the sugar plum fairy is good and beautiful, i think it would look weird if you didn't smile at all. :)

I don't think so.

i would ask your teacher about that. if its a happy character (i havent seen the show for a while) then smile but dont make it look to fake and ask some of the other people in the show. you dont want to be the only one smiling

of COURSE you should ALWAYS smile. Thats considered great stage presents unless you are doing a part that is either unhappy or scared then you should ALWAYS show that face expression. But to answer your question YES smile PEOPLE will think it looks SO much better and that you really ARE having a great time.

I was in the Nutcracker when I was younger. (Granted I was three, and I was the gingerbread, so you couldn't see my face...) I seem to remember that our Sugar Plum Fairy did smile, but you have to do it in a graceful manner. I'm sure if you're the Sugar Plum Fairy you've had experience with the type of smiling most people do in ballet if their role permits it. I would ask your instructor though. If s/he has a certain vision for the fairy, they won't like you to change it. (Not to say that they don't want a little bit of your own creativity!)If you think you ought to smile, suggest it to your instructor and see what they think.

I would talk to your ballet teacher about what he or she is expecting from you in your role as the sugar plum fairy. It has been my experience in dance classes and productions as well as having watched many productions, that most dancers - especially ballet dancers - do not smile while performing. Of course you don't want to look angry! Most ballet dancers look slightly aloof and mostly like they are completely into the ART of dancing - meaning, they are not there to please the audience with smiles which may distract from the art of your performance.

Hey
I actually went to see the Nutcracker when i was younger and i always end up going to some show in the city or some ballet show. Most of the performers DO smile, and when i say SMILE i mean smile!
So in my opinion make sure you smile! LOL
