VIDEO: Boston Ballet's Nutcracker/Britney Mashup

And now for something completely different. Just before Thanksgiving, the Celtics handed over control of the halftime festivities to the Boston Ballet, who opted not to come out with a straight-up preview of their annual cash cow but instead offered a newly-choreographed routine outside their comfort zone. Perhaps taking a cue from the Celtics dancers, the Boston Ballet company performed an experimental hybrid of sorts -- for music, you'll recognize some Timbaland (via Keri Hilson), some Britney Spears, and a little bit of Nutcracker thrown in for good measure. Dance moves? This is about as close to MTV as you'll ever see the Ballet get. ThePhoenix.TV was there to bring back the highlights:
