Leicester - Gatecrash the Kremlin

A thick evening mist rolls out of Red Square as the gates open and a twinkling canopy of stars is revealed in all its splendour. Flags, swags and pennants hang in celebration and the colourful onion-domed buildings of St. Basil's form a stunning backdrop to the magnificent dining hall.

Glitter cannons explode and guests take their seats for a magnificent dinner. Throughout the evening jugglers and musicians entertain, whilst after dinner the atmosphere livens up when Cossack dancers, in spectacular costume, burst from St. Basil's and perform a breathtaking show of sword dancing - sparks fly, swords clash, feet stamp and then the finalé - a thrilling display of the traditionally energetic and acrobatic Cossack dance.
