This Russian Cossack was jumping for joy ahead of his group’s performance in Croydon this weekend.

The Russian State Dance Ensemble of Astrakhan are performing at Fairfield Halls on Saturday evening.

They were at Croydon’s prestigious theatre on Monday showing off some of their moves ahead of the show.

The company have performed all over Europe and are now bringing their original choreographies to Croydon.

Organisers say members of the audience won’t have experienced entertainment like it as the group embark on their UK tour visiting 46 destinations.
