[@rayvanwagenen876]

Everyone thinks Ukrainian is not a dance, and it's some weird "thing", no, in fact , Ukrainian isn't really even a dance, it's an art. And a very beautiful art.

[@isla.luvs.skellies]

So Гопак is an art? That's no surprise because dance is a form of art.. A very beautiful art indeed :)

[@NeonLeonNoel]

Is this the dance that Lomachenko's father made him learn?

[@nortons7040]

Yep, Hopak. Here is his former amateur boxing team-mates (now pro's Usik and Berinchik) dancing Hopak during London Olimpics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2G4YmRvp76ljZY

[@dmitriylaitarniuk7385]

In general yes, but there are different versions of hopak. I suppose this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h168aKKBhcmJbZI and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZicpoN_lq14ftk are more close for understanding

[@noellem9416]

Aww, so happy and cute! :D

[@tom-m-media]

I'm more interested in Ukrainian cultures and music thanks to these dances.

[@kara719]

[@encantoemagiacigana]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Angel-AFA]

song name please

[@liberatordude1988]

What are they saying between 2:20 and 3:00? Is it a cheer or something? Google translate’s showing me no love.

[@thegrandberry4418]

Right of Reason 2:20 I couldn’t make out all of it, but at one point he says “very good” so safe to assume it’s a cheer

[@stevenjfrazelle6145]

Mikhail Smirnov, (not the other Smirnov, 80 proof ) forgot 2 compliment the male dancers; my apologies 4 that. Famous song, of course. Blessings from Samarqand. Damn, the camels R coming. With love, Jovano

[@duzty122]

[@caracal0007]

Bass balalaika

[@zay2603]

[@CommKommando]

[@landinginlondon]

[@ntrkrf6994]

[@matthewgoodman7588]

0:10 I'm going to turn this spy place into a guitar!

[@constantinviorel5826]

iutee... fratilopr

[@samuelisaac2984]

Mad respec for the girls that h as d to do this in those dresses while the lads got nice loose trousers.

[@isla.luvs.skellies]

The dresses and tops are like, a solid not stretchy fabric so its hard to move super freely. But the sleeves amd skirts are usually poofy and large so its easier to move! (Before you ask, I know this because I am Ukrainian and took Ukr. dance lessons)

[@markasrowman8418]

All MUST have ballet trainings I can C clearly. LIKE TO SEE women doing alone without men LIKED Also men doing without woman.

[@isla.luvs.skellies]

? This is how the dance is *traditionally* taught though.. I've also n e v e r had ballet training and I can dance like this.

[@CatmomJules]

I like that huge triangle, guitar? What is it called?

[@TubaHorse]

It's either a bass or contrbass balalaika

[@edvinkeskin8558]

It's called doritos xxl size

[@youtubelife2852]

Not bad

[@248milan]

Lomachenko style.

[@sheevthewireless110]

My kind of guitar, plug it, add distortion and let me shred this baby

[@markoliver2129]

Я український! :-D

[@umkalzum]

so the average folk people in ukraine were dancling like that ?? haha

[@thegrandberry4418]

umkalzum well, the hopak came from the zaporozhian kozaks who were a military group, so the men’s part is basically a military dance derived from the older folk dances, but up in general ukrainian dances require a lot of athleticism, even when they’re not a hopak

[@nicc941]

What?looks like Brazilian samba

[@desgenick3123]
