A troupe of Dutch teenagers tap-danced while wearing garish blue-and-pink, cheetah-print dinner jackets. And, much to the delight of the 7,000-strong audience, a Ukrainian schoolboy was wheeled out on a wagon filled with hay and back-up vocalists as his female dancers did back-flips. In folk dresses...
