- The better world of Strictly Come Dancing | Peter Preston
BBC haters ought to have had this multinational dance series for breakfast. Instead they've feasted on it – every Saturday nightAs Strictly dances triumphantly away into eight months of hibernation once more, it's noticeable that the one thing BBC bashers might have been expected bang on about hasn't yet surfaced. No, not Brucie's bad jokes, or Ola's perennially bare midriff. We're talking MigrationWatch, we're thinking Richard Desmond's Daily Excrescence – and foreigners swamping innocent British ballrooms in alien sambas. Just consider the stars of this show, one by one.So Harry from Chelmsford beat Chelsee from Eccles on Saturday in an ostensibly British last round. But Harry was dancing with flame-haired Aliona from Kazakhstan while Chelsee twirled away alongside Pasha from Siberia. And if old Jason from Melbourne had made the last round, he'd have brought Kristina (another Siberian) along with him. In short, only two out of the six finals contestants were true Brits – which isn't too surprising when you look at where Strictly started last September.On the professional side, add Artem from the Udmurt Republic, Brendan and Erin from New Zealand, Katya (Lithuania via Canada), Flavia (Naples via Guildford), Natalie (Melbourne, Australia), Vincent (Foggia, Italy), and Ola from Nasielsk, Poland. That leaves only Robin Windsor, James Jordan and Anton du Beke on the true Brit line – and Anton had a Hungarian dad and a Spanish mum long before he clapped eyes on Italian Nancy, arguably the worst dancer since records began. Other celebs in the international frame are Holly Valance (nee Vukadinovic) – and, of course, two judges: Bruno from Italy, fluent in more languages than Nick Clegg, and Craig from Ballarat, Victoria.It's curiously precise when you do the maths: 14 outside null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

- Brazil! Brazil! | Dance review
Southbank Udderbelly, LondonThe back story to Brazil! Brazil! is a show in itself. Not only have some of its cast overcome childhoods in the grimmest favelas to become professional dancers and musicians, but they now work on projects to help those they've left behind – teaching dance skills in the streets, offering any kid who hands in a gun a musical instrument in return.But the reasons to like this production are all on stage, in the daredevilry and skill of its five male dancers and in the pumped-up party energy that flares between them and their band.Capoeira, the martial arts form, is one of the main threads running through this 70-minute showcase of hot Brazilian moves – its wheeling kicks and elegantly poised balances presented both as virtuoso dance and as furious mock battle. But in response to the music, the dancers segue naturally on to hip-swivelling samba and traditional battle dance. They let fly acrobatic routines whose insouciant ferocity threatens to explode out of the cramped Udderbelly stage. During one tight and impossibly fast circle of flips, dancer Ananias da Bahia appears to be rotating on a pin head.But even Bahia's skill is outflanked by the modest, lanky freestyle footballer Arthur Mansilla, whose ball control should make the England squad weep. You look in vain for a wire attaching the ball to him, as standing up or lying down Mansilla trickles it around every surface of his body, or taps it from one foot to the other while his legs are busy tracing perfect figures of eight.Toby Gough directs with the lightest of touches. If sometimes that touch seems too light, resulting in a few too many raw musical edges and fumbled choreographic ideas, the performers' nerve and charm carry everything before them.Until 18 July.
