DONALD Trump and Hillary Clinton will be delighted to know that there is such a thing as good Russian influence.

In this case it was the Russian National Ballet Theatre giving local lovers of dance the thrilling spectacle of this world famous company in full flight. If you had to choose only two ballets to see, The Nutcracker and Romeo and Juliet are the ones. The skill and precision of the dancers in both ballets at The Arts Centre Gold Coast will stay long in the memory.
