Parents of dancers in the party scene, it would be nice if your dancer took a couple minutes to watch other productions to get a feel for the story.
Here and here are two short clips from the Royal Ballet's Nutcracker - have them watch and pay particular attention to the children in the background. Look at how they move around, fiddle with things, stand in groups, and aren't just watching the adults.
It's always a good thing to watch the great ballets! You can look up other party scenes if you want to and see how other ballet companies do their scenes differently.
