So jealous: I'm also (1/4) Ukrainian but unfortunately I wasn't taught Ukrainian. My grandmother (who was from Kharkiv) spent most of her life in Georgia and so was used to speaking either Georgian (with an accent) or Russian, the lingua franca of the USSR. Therefore, I grew up speaking English, Georgian and Russian. I still want to learn Ukrainian though of course. My Ukrainian roots are the ones I'm least in touch with.

I went to watch Ukrainian dancers at Wimbledon Theatre when I was 14 years old, during the very early 1970's. We the audience clapped and shouted 'encore' every time they took their bow and left the stage. They came back 4 or 5 times to do a 'final dance' for us. Then the Manager of the theatre came on stage and said thank you for the appreciation but they had worked very hard, were very tired and could not give another encore so would we all please stop clapping and let them go home. Of course we all realised how selfish we were being in demanding so much of them after they had given us so much of themselves already, and we all became silent and went home, shamefaced at being so greedy. We had never seen anything so marvellous before, you see. We lost our sense of being fair to those incredibly wonder dancers and musicians. They would all have been older than I was, but if by chance someone reading this was one of them then sorry we obliged you to keep returning to the stage and thank you for what you gave us during your tour. If someone reading is the son or daughter of one of the dancers or musicians who made that tour of London in 1970/71 then you can be very proud of your parent who achieved such artistry and skill.

The audience kept clapping and saying 'encore' until they had danced maybe four more times. They were amazing. I would love to watch Russian dancing in a theatre, instead of yt. I think this type of Ukrainian and Russian dancing is more skilful even than ballet, and certainly more energetic. Beyond compare. Best wishes.

All moves in Lezginka are mostly based on reflexes, Riverdance, on the other hand, is a totally different class of a dance, choreography for it is very complex. Lezginka is apparently banned in the Russian areas of Russian Federation, as the Russian people are greatly annoyed by it and it leads to violence. There are videos, showing how police arrests Lezginka dancers. But nobody can be annoyed by Hopak or Riverdance.

@@ontop1727 I think that both Irish dance (Riverdance) and Hopak share the same athletic fitness one must have to achieve a good result, but Irish dance tends to be hard on the back for the dancer in question compared to the knees in Hopak. At least, that's what I tell from watching Hopak-videos, being an Irish dancer myself...

I took a Ukrainian dance lesson over the winter and the leg strength I got from squatting and deadlifting allowed me to do a lot of this (well, at least somewhat crappy versions of this. For example, I could jump and touch my toes with my hands, but not get my legs parallel to the ground in the air.) Just a thought if you or anyone else is serious about trying this. It really is a blast!
