I don't think any other culture in the world has a more physically demanding form of folk dancing. Thumbs up to the Ukrainians for Hopak.

[@edmundgeswein]

***** I looked up lezginka and yes, that is another very physically demanding form of dance. Lezginka seems to add in fast footwork and rapid fire moves that resemble martial arts forms. It takes a lot of agility!

[@pediatrapaola]

surely ,but despite surely inspired by basic steps of ukrainian folk l don't belive being danced exactly like this in ukrainian streets LOL

[@Gohopongo]

***** Well I would not say, just because Russian borrow some of the techniques does not mean that ukrainian school and russian have almost the same techniques. And what's with Belarusian folk dance? they also have almost all the same? However, Lezghinka requires physical exertion, but lizginka bounce not so high and do not so low crouch jump as in hopak, becouse it's not necessary. Yes, even in appearance noticeable, that hopak requires more physical training and lizginka not. Almost all of the Caucasus can dance Lezginka, and just do anyone familiar with the dance, can dance lezginka. Video on the Internet, where almost everyone is dancing lezginka prove that this dance is not so difficult especially in terms of acrobatics.

[@Gohopongo]

Буду с нетерпением ждать когда вы включите мозг хД) Ведь я написал чорным по белому, что "Лизгинка проще (а не самый простой) танец чем гопак, потому что в гопаке много акробатике а в лизгинке ее нет или оч мало". Так что включайте мозг читайте и танцуйте) З.Ы. не греши не самолайкни! х)

[@reymohammed7040]

Eee...yep. More decades ago than I care to count, as a freshman in college, I had a dance instructor from Kharkiv. Our lives became one giant charlie horse. A decade later, when our Maximum Leader was teaching in the public schools, a large, obstreperous boy in the back row kept mouthing off. Maximum Leader crossed the room in a bound (I am told) and gave him a boot in the rear that put him in orbit. The whole class was quite obedient thereafter.
