How to dance Hopak 

Trepak (Ukr. Tropak) is an old Russian dance, also common in Ukraine [1]. It is performed at a fast tempo, in two beats. The main movements are fractional steps, trampling and squatting [en] with throwing out the legs. The main position of the hands on the belt. The movements were composed by the performer on the go. In terms of properties, it has much in common with "Kamarinskaya" and "Lady": either a single male dance, or a dance. But, unlike them, the trepak did not have its own generally accepted tune. This is the same as "hopak".

Так бы сразу и сказал, а то меня закидали помидорами

Ukraine is Russia since they came from the same root. Change my mind.

@@danillukyanchenco5628 Hopak (Ukrainian: гопа́к, IPA: [ɦoˈpɑk]) is a Ukrainian folk dance originating as a male dance among the Zaporozhian Cossacks, but later danced by couples, male soloists, and mixed groups of dancers. It is performed most often as a solitary concert dance by amateur and professional Ukrainian dance ensembles, as well as other performers of folk dances.[1] It has also been incorporated into larger artistic opuses such as operas, ballets and theatre.

I heard that the Ushanka is inspired off of the Azeri Turkish cultural hat "Kalpak". Is that true?

@@CharaDreemurr_Undertale well not compeletely. They might be made of same material but they differ in appearance. Ushanka has ear covering parts that you can fold and unfold but kalpak is more simple and doesn't cover the ears.

Yes I know, but the whole world thinks this dance is Russian because of internet memes and stuff. I am well aware that the dance was created by the Zaporozhian Cossacks.

Yeah I just got triggered that Kozatsky kick is for Cossacks, a Ukrainian warriors. Then he wrote casatchok which is another way of writing Cossacks. And then russian knee dance... What part of it is russian except misleading memes, I don't know

​@@carnifex17Думаю, так называют так как: Во-первых, путают славянские культуры Во-вторых, из-за того, что в то время Украина была под контролем Российской Империи. Также термин "казаки" связан не только с украинским казаками, ведь казаки были и на других территориях, в том числе России. Ну и ещё известную композицию с названием "Гопак" написал русский композитор Мусоргский Но да, я тоже считаю, что этот танец вообще неправильно и даже в некотором роде глупо называть русским, а не украинским, коим он является

its only meme sorry

Наверни русского борща

Prior to 1918 Ukraine didn't even exist, so it is more of a Russian/Poland dance if we were to base it on territory. Ukraine existed after Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. The language spoken by the Cossacks and their writing style was different to what is known as Ukrainian in modern day. There is actual evidence of this since Russia still have letters between Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Russia always been a multi-ethic country with around 190 ethnic groups. Cossacks is an enthic group that spread over Poland and Russia. I would even argue is more of a Turkish dance. Cossacks are predcessors of Kipchak turkic and not truly slavs,they were semi nomadic people that would periodically move. Just look at traditional Turkey dances is literary almost the same and even the music sounds similar. The very word Cossack (‘казак’) is Turkic and means a free man, a vagabond, a fortune seeker. The Cossacks were not Ukrainians didn’t belong to any particular nationality. Most of the Cossacks of Don had mixed ancestry - partly Central Russian, partly Southerners, with strong Tatar as well as Polish influences, so we aren’t able to define them ethnically. Most of the Cossacks were Russian Orthodox and Russian Old Believers. Their Christian faith defined them more than their nationality or their place of living; also, the Cossack principles and way of life united very different people that identified as Cossacks.

@@r3n736 One could argue that Zaporozhian Cossacks are Ukrainian because of not only their large influence on Ukrainian culture but also because of the fact that they were in what is now Ukraine (check out some maps). The Zaporozhian Cossacks, in fact, identify themselves as neither russian nor turkish, nor polish. They have founded their own country called the Zaporozhian Sich (Запорозька Січ), which was located around the southern part of Ukraine (and, to be fair, a very very small part of modern day russia). They fought against the turks and the polish-lithuanian commonwelth, and russia. Eventually, later leaders of the Zaporozhian Sich made deals with the russians and eventually became their vasalls basically. And so began the slow takeover of Zaporozhia by russia. It is however true that the word Cossack is of turkish origin. However attatching the cossacks to the polish, russians or turks is the same as saying that russia is not a real country since muscovy (russias ancestor) was founded by a Knyaz (king) from the Kyivan Rus (Київська Русь) which is Ukraine's ancestor. Then again, I havent covered the topic in a while so correct me if I'm wrong.

​@r3n736 You confuse concepts of state and country. If there was no state it doesn't mean there was no country

KEEP GOING GUY !

Hopaks tend to also have steps like Ukrainian split jumps, Kiltse, flying camels, and pike jumps in them

I can't please everyone. anyway, I know that the dance is from Ukraine, I'm interested in history, but I didn't know that at the time I was editing the video. Hadbass and CCCP is only there because it's a meme

@@cesko4488 maybe you changed the name of the video recently, but what you danced is a parody of the Ukrainian hopak, the Russians stole only one element of the hopak and called it "squat". The theft of culture by Russia is part of its policy towards Ukraine, suggesting that such a country, culture and language does not exist / they are artificial, all to justify the occupation.

​@@machinegewehrUIA смысл ему объяснять?

@@Target-u4t многие уперто стоят за Россию потому что воспринимают ее по другому, если изначально убрать тот сложившийся образ ее, то и доказывать подобное станет легче, какой нибудь упертый чел не перестанет относиться к ней как и раньше, только потому что ему 1-3 раза привели пример подобного.

it remains for you to find out that hopak is a Ukrainian dance.

Idiots. That's Malorossian dance, not Ukrainian..

@@leeenko7978 the war has really brain rotted y;all lately, huh?

@@thedog5k What is the war about here and how is it connected with the fact that hopak is a Ukrainian dance? even the form "Hopak" through the letter "H" indicates that the word was transcribed from Ukrainian, because if transcribed from Russian it would be "Gopak".

:D

Which version of the dance do you perform kicking up or on the ground?

@@cesko4488 Kicking up ( :

That's the first step to success, keep repeating these movements and practice your balance, then try kicking your leg up. don't forget that the faster you try to kick, the less you'll think about your balance and you won't fall

@@cesko4488 oh yeah it's kind of like riding a bike the faster you go the more balanced you are

Thank you for your note. I know that, but since many people don't know that the dance is from Ukraine, I put Russia because people search for this dance under the name Russia. Plus, the casatchok is from Russia.

In Russia its called Gopak, the dance derives from Cossack tradition. Last time im writing this. To all you know it alls.

yes

yea

Все знаю что он украинский, тк украинцы тоже русские

Ну так у вас ничего нет, даже русский борщ себе под усы обокрали

No problem comrade!

@Относительно Процента а с чего вывод?

@Относительно Процента что гуглить? Это украинский танец, используемый в культуре белорусии и Украины....

@Относительно Процента гопак танцевали украинцы, а в белоруси козачок, который очень схож с гопаком, и что значит танцевали все? Кто?

no xD
