This is Travel Ukraine Through the YouTube, section one. The other two sections are linked at the bottom of this page - all sections are linked together and there is a link back to Home on each.


These links are YouTube presentations about Ukraine. They have been selected to offer a view of Ukraine that is seen by the visitors through their camcorders. As such they are a new breed of "Folk Artists" in the making. Lighting quality will vary, sound will vary, editing will vary from nonexistent to very good.

There are some "commercial" clips. The first one shown is from that venue. I hope you enjoy this trip. No Charge.

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.
