THE sensational Moscow based Russian Cossack State Dance Company are storming into the Grand Theatre, Blackpool, on Sunday April 22 to embark on their UK concert tour.

Widely acknowledged as Russia's premier Cossack dance troupe, this world-class company of 50 dancers, musicians and singers brings a dynamic and breathtaking production that will both dazzle and delight theatregoers through amazing feats of highly skilled, acrobatic Cossack dance.

The Russian Cossack State Dance Company has previously appeared at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and completed a sell-out season for Sadler's Wells in London.

The Cossacks of Russia were legendary horsemen and warriors, but it was really through their music and dance that they unleashed their relentless energy and passion for life and freedom.

Renowned for their strength and athleticism, The Russian Cossacks dance with vigour, sparkle and spontaneity, but behind each performance lies many hours of strenuous rehearsals and strong self-discipline, all under the watchful eye of their Artistic Director, Leonid Milovanov.

Russian Cossack State Dance Company, the Grand Theatre, Blackpool, Sunday April 22. Tickets priced from £16.50, to book ring 01253 290190 or book online at www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk.
