A group of Russian dancers have arrived in Oxford to prepare for a series of performances over the next two weeks.
The 20-strong folk ensemble Yarmarka from the Russian city of Perm, deep in the Ural mountains, are here as part of Oxford City Council's twinning link.
During their visit, they will hold workshops and take part in the Oxford Folk Festival.
Victor Kuzminov, Yarmarka's artistic director, said: "We are happy to come back to Oxford, the city we fell in love with in July last year."
There will be a performance in Oxford Town Hall at 7pm on April 18. For details call the box office on 01865 252195.
