The National dance of Ukraine, Hopak, performed in Utah by the Brigham Young University International Folk Dance Ensemble. The Cossack warriors return from battle, upon which they are greeted by the women with the traditional bread and salt. They enter the barn to let the celebration begin with music and dance.

Who taught you that?? I can't believe my eyes. 100% Ukrainian in Utah??? You not only perfectly performed moves but fully (!!!) reflected the authenticity/spirit of the Ukrainian dance. I can say only one word:.....Bravo!!!

Nothing is authentic here. This are costumes, reinterpretated and highly artistic dances and moves, ballet music with some elements of folk music.

@@panikwe I beg to differ....these ARE authentic Ukrainian costumes and dance moves....but hey you're welcome to your opinion as wrong as it is!

Do you think that your ancestors dance like this before 20. century? Highly artistic dances with balet elements, modern costumes which imitates folk garments of 19. century, faked performed smiles and girls with make up? ти дуже розумний!

@Andrew 1234 What is traditional? The moves and the steps are since 19. century stylized and highly artistic no matter where in Ukraine or in America. Costumes are by definition replicas and not real authentic garments. Costumes just imitate real folk garments.Sorry i'm ethnologist and with what I'm only impressed is that, that in fact this are all no ethnic Ukrainians. Bravo! But still...this is not authentic...

Fun dance; however, I feel like the editing of the video really detracted from the dancers and the dance itself. Like every time the dancers were performing a difficult part of the dance, the video would insert like 5 camera cuts, really making it feel disjointed and making it hard to appreciate how hard some of the dance moves are and how good they look. Either way, great job dancers.

I do not agree - but yes, camera edits changed alot - but it was done well. AMAZING dancing !!
