It's incredibly how they can peform multiple 'sitting kicks' and still continue dancing. They have amazing stamina. Ask any western man to try and do the same and he will probably be rolling on the floor or gripping his back in pain.
I'm currently learning this dance from videos i've seen on the internet. So far i can really only do the Kalinka, but i'm upping up my level. I practice everyday and i soon hope to be a great as these dancers.
"Many people, uh, y'know, they have uh, opinion that Russian people drink Vodka in the morning, & that's not true, some really prefer Cognac!!!" PRICELESS humour there, to go with a phenomenal dance :o)
yes it's very interesting to see the ballet moves and themes that obviously came from this Cossack dancing and it makes perfect sense since the capital of ballet moved from France to Russia in the late 1800s..
I guess that has to do with showing off their bravery and masculinity. Landing on both hands is safe of course but who needs *safe* when one is a ferocious gun toting, "death defying horse riding COSSACK?
Apparently the word Kazakh is in fact from the same root as Cossack, but the word simply refers to a free-spirited nomad type, without implying nationality - Cossacks were such, as were early Kazakhs, but it doesn't mean they were the same people.
My theory is that Cossacks usually operate riding from horseback. Maybe they invented these kind of dances to get rid of saddle sore or stiffness in the back and upper legs. A bit like I have a theory about how Irish dancing was created from the fact they had to stand all day doing work in the fields or crouch doing work in the mines. Notice how in Irish dancing, the hands do next to nothing. Probably because they were working mostly with their hands (and arms).
Well, if some celebrities would do this Russian dance, they will probably end up with a lot of injuries. This dance is so much harder than you think. I mean, if you are a breakdancer, it would be much easier because they are used to do these acrobatic stunts. But the average dancer/celebrity would have some difficulties with it.
PenguinSebs Russian s are not Slavic but Eurasian In the West of Russia they are Finic and the East they are Asian But in between they are a mixture of Eurasian
Ukraine was not exist at this time! Learn History, look at old maps and globes, you will see Little Russia that what they call now Ukraine. This old part of Russia they start to call Ukraine after communist revolution in 1921-24
Absolutely correct Watch Ukrainian Hopak and Zaporozhyets and see real cossak dance Original cossaks were Ukrainians and this is a vague copy and it shows The music is not spirited or fast enough nor has it got the masculine sound Search Hopak Dance by Virski and experience the DNA of real Cossacks

As usual when the truth of history Kyiv existed from 500AD and Moscow was a large swampy waste land of backward people living in mud huts and having birch bark as foot wear, and the Tsars originated from Kyiv Rus all current history was stolen from the Southern Rus just as the customs and religion so there.
There are many cossack organisations; some predominately Russian, some Ukrainian, but thats hardly the point. The Cossack culture belong to all Eastern Slavic cultures.
Mr. Wen \m/ Cossaks arose in Ukraine 100 yrs before there were any cossaks in the Rudsy Empire The Cossack in the Russian Empire were UKRAINIAN COSSACKS who fought for Catherine 2 and Potemkin Russian divisions were established by Ukrainian Cossacks Without the Ukrainian Cossacks there would not have been the development of the Russian Empire Cossacks THAT HAD ABSORBED Ukraine!!!! Get your facts Read history broadly and with understanding Emphasis on broad history knowledge as opposed to Russian DISINFORMATION
I've only seen a couple videos of REAL cossacking. Most of it is folk dancing or the same damn video of those Russian soldiers on that bridge. I'd love to see something different. Something real!
Look for this PLAYLIST on youtube: Russian Folk Dance - Istoria. I also recommend: - Russiand and Ukrainian Sword Tradition - (playlist) Russian Folk Music - Istoria - (playlist) Slavic Spirit
Alex Johnson No problem! Don't forget to watch the "Russian and Ukrainian Sword". It is not for "lazy people", but maybe it will intrigue you: ff you think about king Arthur while you are watching it, you are very right. Actually, it is (probably) a Sarmatian/Scythian (former names for Russians) legend. All British peoples were founded by them according to their myths. See Wikipedia->Scythians->Descent Claims.
Thanks to you, sir/madam, this argument has degraded into a name-calling competition involving each others nationality and age. I too wish to conclude this argument, but I'd like to do so by pointing out to you that your view on Russia and Russian history is very wrong, and if you want to continue, I would not reply back asking why you're keeping this argument going. Good day to you.
Устин Скрипачев So you are proud of Invasion Colonization Exploitation of others Killing Rape Stealing Lying Spying Alcoholism Wife beating And being a BARBARIAN Oh well - that explains Russian attitude Proud of being barbaric Cheers
That's the origin of Cossacks, but over the history it has become associated with all Eastern Slavic cultures. It's been a major force in the Russian military in the 17th and 18th centuries. To call those Cossacks "Ukrainian Mercenaries" would be a tad over the top, wouldn't you agree? Not to mention the fact that predominantly Russian cossack organisations have been formed in Russia.
You've made a huge claim that reliable and verifiable sources like wikipedia are Russian propaganda. You have made several big claims like this for which you've given no proof to back up. Now I must say that this is not a good habit at all. I strongly recommend you do a bit of reading before continuing this argument. Read the entry "cossacks" on Wikipedia----it's a good article.
By true source, do you mean Ukrainian Nationalist websites? Anyone can write anything on Wikipedia, but just have a look at the editing history, the discussion page, and the list of well sources that are cited. You're accustomed to dismissing anything that is beyond your knowledge, beyond what you know in your head for granted, without ever stopping to question the validity of your own assumed truth. You are the one who needs to do some research before posting.
Yeah, yeah, I was waiting for that "I'm Ukrainian you're not so shut the fuck up" argument. It's NOT your history that's concerned, it's your view on the Russian (or perhaps 'Muscovite' in case you think your people are the only true successor of Rus) history that's far, far divorced from reality. You're just dismissing anything that goes against your knowledge as "untrue, incorrect" and "Russian propaganda", be it Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica. Do you, yourself, find this convincing?
Jake_the_tzar bullshit Russia captured Ukraine when it became an Empire and the used the UKRAINIAN COSSACK FIGHTING FORCES as an Empire .Without Ukrainian Cossacks there would not be so called Russian Cossacks as Cossacks did not exist in Russia before RUSSIA became an EMPIRE HENCE UKRAINE BECAME PART OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE and taught RUSSIA some Ukrainian CULTURE TRUELY RUSSIA WAS NOTHING BEFORE THEY CAPTURED UKRAINE AND BECAME CIVILISED

I love being half Russian, quarter Dominican, and quarter German, so much fun watching my cousins dance cossack while learning myself.
I love russian music and cossack dancing.
i'm russian and i hate this theathrical dance, it's not traditional at all.
Love Cossack dance!!!!!!!! bloody amazing!
It's incredibly how they can peform multiple 'sitting kicks' and still continue dancing. They have amazing stamina. Ask any western man to try and do the same and he will probably be rolling on the floor or gripping his back in pain.
They are trained dancers, no ordinary man could accomplish this.
Before I knew anything else about Russia,including Communism, vodka, and even the Cold War, I knew this dance. This dance is awesome.
it's fake theathrical kind of balley dance. Traditional is more awesome, believe me I'm Russian.
IPiminov russian, ukrainian - same thing.
Do you know the name of the song
I'm currently learning this dance from videos i've seen on the internet. So far i can really only do the Kalinka, but i'm upping up my level. I practice everyday and i soon hope to be a great as these dancers.
Their leg game is strong omg
Actually not just legs. Core strength as well.
This is the new conga.
lol tf2 lol ayylmao
+Nagisa Furukawa lol no tf2 pls xD
you go guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you very much,amazing! lisa
I love this dance!!!!!
I loved it! This type of dance would leave me dizzy for sure.
this dance must take an incredible amount of endurance and strength.
Zis was a great performance bythis guys realy amazing ... i love this :D , amazing amazing !!!
they make it look so easy
"Many people, uh, y'know, they have uh, opinion that Russian people drink Vodka in the morning, & that's not true, some really prefer Cognac!!!"
PRICELESS humour there, to go with a phenomenal dance :o)
Love Russian culture!Greetings from Greece!
It's amazing how they can just keep on spinning without getting dizzy! I think i see some similarities between Ballet dancers and Cossack dancers...
Actually, he Russian ballet bases strongly on old cossack dances.
Amazing. And I am not being sarcastic.
yes it's very interesting to see the ballet moves and themes that obviously came from this Cossack dancing and it makes perfect sense since the capital of ballet moved from France to Russia in the late 1800s..
Simply awesome. Don't get how they could do this after a few vodkas though..
notice how when they flip landing is done on ONE hand, not both. lol Crazy man. They must not weigh a lot. Cheerleaders usually use both hands.
I guess that has to do with showing off their bravery and masculinity. Landing on both hands is safe of course but who needs *safe* when one is a ferocious gun toting, "death defying horse riding COSSACK?
Oh the Cossack, our motherland's version of defying gravity and falling with style XD
RUSSIAAAA!
wow!
wow, what's the name of that awesome song? i love it! and dance is simply amazing
sick guys loved it
By the way, I'm not Eastern European, you were right on that point. I'm Chinese and I happen to have an interest in Eastern European cultures.
Apparently the word Kazakh is in fact from the same root as Cossack, but the word simply refers to a free-spirited nomad type, without implying nationality - Cossacks were such, as were early Kazakhs, but it doesn't mean they were the same people.
this theme would be perfect for a video game boss
Do you know the name of the song
All of my most elite warriors must learn dance choreography, got to style all over our enemies. - Joseph Stalin
Bravo
I could watch them dancing all day, btw do theyr legs get tired??
probably.
My theory is that Cossacks usually operate riding from horseback. Maybe they invented these kind of dances to get rid of saddle sore or stiffness in the back and upper legs. A bit like I have a theory about how Irish dancing was created from the fact they had to stand all day doing work in the fields or crouch doing work in the mines. Notice how in Irish dancing, the hands do next to nothing. Probably because they were working mostly with their hands (and arms).
You're benighted.
yes, it happens to be a common tradition when dancing among Greek and Russians
What is the name of the music? Its very good music for dance parties so anybody know the name?
I imagine those squat kicks really take some strength.
i cannot find out what the name of this song is any help?? thanks!
What is the name of the music they use? Gotta know
Good luck!
Is 3:34 also called "Preesyadkee"?
2:59 Cossacks-the original breakdancers.
Can i get this song ?
Privyet Ukrana y Rossiya. Privyet iz Texas, USA!

michael fuckin flatley! oh sheiSe!!!
This is 800 years old dance and the first break dance

These guys most definitely squat.
kirbsmeister2 Yeah the amount of quad strength for the classic moves is outrageous. AND THEY'RE LEANING BACK!
You're looking for 3:42
Russians just like: So? This isn't special...
3:16 YES!!!
@israeljew2220 Actually, more than half of Russia is in Asia, specifically the middle east, making dark skinned russians quite possible
PenguinSebs Russian s are not Slavic but Eurasian
In the West of Russia they are Finic and the East they are Asian

Came here after the new tf2 update
WHICH ONE'S BILL MURRAY
I use to walk..when i did this..
Love ya. Sorry. Can't take it back.
*Muffled background guy* HEy hey hey hey hey hey hey!
cossak dancing is better than shuffeling
Your comment was so great that I love ya. That's it! See ya later. O.o
when they crouch and kick it is hopak dancing from Ukraine BTW I don't wanna hear its Russian it is Ukranian
Ukraine was not exist at this time! Learn History, look at old maps and globes, you will see Little Russia that what they call now Ukraine. This old part of Russia they start to call Ukraine after communist revolution in 1921-24
Absolutely correct
Watch Ukrainian Hopak and Zaporozhyets and see real cossak dance

Ukraine is on ancient maps from the 1100 when Russia did not exist nor was it in a map
MOSCOVIA was on maps from only the 1300
MOSCOVIA was changed to Russia only in 1721 by Peter 1
Ukraine was a geographic name from the 5thcentury
In the 9th century it was called Kyivan RUS as a big Empire - a political entity
In 1917 the REPUBLIC OF UKRAINE was founded
Ukraine =500ie the 6thcentury
Kyiv RUS = a Ukrainian political entity
MOSCOVIA - 1300ie 14thcentury as a Mongol vassal
Russia 1721 ie 18th century
USSR 1945 and that is not Russia
Hence Ukraine 6th century
And Russia 17th century
Russia did not exist when Ukraine did
In fact when Kyiv Rus existed as as powerful civilized Christian political entity
The northern Finic tribes in the 8th century did not have a name -- that became RUSSIA in 1721 were pagan , were not a political entity and did not have a written language
Time you learned ancient history and not embarass yourself with crap and false information
No! You are stupid! Learn history of your land and people deeply.@@romanchomenko2912

Mr. Wen \m/
Cossaks arose in Ukraine
100 yrs before there were any cossaks in the Rudsy Empire
The Cossack in the Russian Empire were UKRAINIAN COSSACKS who fought for Catherine 2 and Potemkin
Russian divisions were established by Ukrainian Cossacks
Without the Ukrainian Cossacks there would not have been the development of the Russian Empire Cossacks THAT HAD ABSORBED Ukraine!!!!
Get your facts
Read history broadly and with understanding
Emphasis on broad history knowledge as opposed to Russian DISINFORMATION
I think they meant Ukrainian cossack dance... Steeling the ideas, again. :/
Bogdan 1OO%
Russians steal everything
Culture ideas and expoint those they conquer
THEN LIE

Looking at dance shooted 27 years before, it seems like training of childern... So pity...
Glorious pity for mother Russia!
@BogdanAus Yes, unfortunately russians do that a lot.
I can't tell whether Cossack dancing is 'Ballet for men' or 'break-dancing for white people.'
Many people they have opinion that russian people drink vodka in the morning.. and that's not true, some really prefer cognac ! ROFL!
OP OP OP OP OPA RUSSIAN STYLE
u can no longer say white guys cant dance
Anyone else find it kind of ironic that an Irishman types Russian men for being obsessed with dancing and drinking?

Russian dance not ukranian
