The Nutcracker goes global in Royal Ballet's trip to the cinema; Altynai Asylmuratova makes the leap in St Petersburg
• Christmas traditionally provides rich pickings for dance fans who can't make it to live shows – and the season starts this Thursday with two very different offerings.
From the Royal Ballet comes a live screening of The Nutcracker, to be shown in cinemas worldwide, and with a cast including Laura Morera and Federico Bonelli as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince; Gary Avis as Drosselmeyer, Francesca Hayward as Clara and Alexander Campbell as the Nutcracker.
For anyone phobic to pink satin and snowflakes, the Tate Modern is hosting a minimalist alternative, a live streaming (at 20:00 GMT) of a new duet by Daniel Linehan, in which the dancers movements are in dialogue with sequences of words projected on the walls of the performance space.
