Learning how to do a traditional Ukrainian Hopak Dance

[@AvitalShtap]

HE FLIES AROUND LIKE A FEATHER!!!! Дякую!!!! Wow!!! He's fantastic!!!!

[@TolKOZAK]

Молодець. Oleksiy makes it look so effortless, yet we see at the end how hard he has to work to pull it off. He danced for two minutes. A typical Hopak is 7 to 9 minutes. That's why the men and women take turns at centre stage. Bravo Oleksiy!

I just love the hopak dance

[@Tfichtenbaum]

The flexibility and core strength to dance this ....wow

If I try doing any of these moves, I fall on my face.

Wonderful kolomeyka! Hopa!

[@---nj2se]

BRAVO. Slava Ukraini!

[@ustynamotrunich3409]

It has been considered a fight dance, to show off the moves

[@lustantinoanimations5699]

They're right. The Hopak is energetic.
And that's why I am going to animate a Ukrainian verses Russian dance fight.

I love how this whole thing was a big LAYS commercial..

[@Jasmine-sc6cn]

He's just missing everyone else... Hopak is usually done with a ton of people...

[@aguevarad]

Excellent performance! Olev

[@emiloom3769]

And it just happened to be a bag of Lay's right in front of the camera...

[@nikoonblitz5371]

It's weird watching it without hardbass playing

Ukraine dance NOT RUSSIAN! Slava Ukraini

[@westhuizenarchives2614]

Ukrobros when they realize it isn't a Ukrainian dance, it is a Zaporozhian Cossack Dance which quickly spread to other Cossack communities.

[@kwilliams8451]

This is Ukraine dance not Russian
