Trepak is one dance from a set of dances found in Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, a ballet from 1892. It is a Russian dance featuring squat-kicks and an energetic rhythm. The instrumentation features a tambourine with the strings and woodwinds that enlivens the rhythm and orchestral sound.
The music that was played in the background was very suitable to the dance as it was able to set the love mood in the dance. The inclusion of the musical instruments like the; tuba Timpani, Percussion, harps, Celeste and the Strings made the piece more lively and the audience was also entertained by the choice of the music.
