About the folk style dance in Ukraine:

 .

The Dance of the Zaporozhian Cossacks is a classic Hopak dance. This is an exact letter for letter transliteration from Ukrainian with the root word hop imitating the sound of a jump, bounce, skip!

It is a stylized but faithful presentation of Cossacks celebrating at their Sich in the Dnieper River at Zaporizhzhia (above the rapids).

 .

There are other folk dances. The Kolomeyka is a social dance style named for the old city of Kolomyya in south western Ukraine where it was created. This dance is enjoyed during festive occasions such as holidays, marriages, celebrations.

 .

Here you see young Ukrainians enjoying their party and traditional dance.
