Back again to watch this wonderful, graceful dance . . . the revival of this type of entertainment being one of the unlooked-for dividends of the collapse of Communism. No Socialist Realism here! Love the fancy footwork, foot-stamping and heel-clicking. Maybe if Putin did some of this, he'd be easier to get along with.
