"Nutcracker" dancers led by Jill Biden support getting rid of police departments and rant about 'white supremacy'

According to the video put out by the White House, first lady Jill Biden does not wish for anyone to have a white Christmas, as it turns out.

During the annual display of the Christmas decorations at the White House, which was organized by the First Lady, a tap dance ensemble that engages in radical left activism performed the dance, as Breitbart News reported.

Furthermore, it is claimed that the dancers and their crew publicly support not just the defunding of police agencies but also the elimination of law enforcement and jails across the nation.

On its official website, the organization singles out "white people" and holds them guilty of at least some of the "white and state-sanctioned violence" that has occurred.

In addition to promoting Black Lives Matter organizations and the National Lawyers Guild, a far-left legal organization that attempts to free violent members of Antifa from jail, the group, Dorrance Dance, which is based in New York, has a page on its website that is titled "antiracism."

Jill Biden shared a video of the dance company performing a tap-dancing rendition of the ballet "Nutcracker" on Thursday.

The group's colorful and oddly post-modern interpretation of the Tchaikovsky dance met with almost instantaneous derision for the first lady.

At the same time that John Nolte of Breitbart News classified it as a hybrid of David Lynch and The Shining, several commenters compared it to The Hunger Games.

Michelle Dorrance, a dancer who is notoriously outspoken about her political and social opinions, is the founder of the dance company. Her own white privilege and "whiteness" are also called out on the website.

“I am a white tap dancer with Black [sic] cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness,” she writes. She asserts that this is "why antiracism work is important to me.

“I am easy for white audiences wanting to access and experience elements of Black culture to swallow. My whiteness is the reason you may have heard of me before two of my inspirations” — black tap dancers Ayodele Casel and Dormeshia.

She continues: “It is imperative for me, and those who look like me, to acknowledge that. It is imperative for us to fight against racist norms that have defined American culture since its very origin.”

Dorrance has been awarded a "genius" grant from the MacArthur Foundation.

Among the social justice actions that the troupe has participated in, which are associated with the dance world, is the organization of an event that is titled "Racism and the Dance World."
