While not all nations officially recognize a national dance (including the U.S.), many countries around the world have either formal or informal recognitions of national dances. The Hopak, also known as the Cossack dance, originated in Ukrainian military communities in the 1600s. It first appeared in Zaporozhian Sich in the XVI-XIII centuries – not as a dance, but more as a specific kind of martial art.
When the Cossacks would return from battle, the men would celebrate through this improvised dance. Town musicians would gather their instruments, mainly a variety of string instruments and drums, as well as mountain horns, and play for the men while they danced. With its notable, upbeat tune, the music that normally accompanies this dance is lively and simply a joy to listen to. Originally, the Ukrainian folk dance was improvised, with participants forming a circle and members taking turns entering the center and giving their best moves. The dance is sometimes considered a form of Martial Art since many of the moves performed include high kicks, arm raises, and symbolic gestures. Hopak is derived from the Ukrainian word hopaty, which means to ‘to leap or jump.’
In modern times, this type of dance is normally performed at organized events, recitals, or weddings. Clad in ornate, traditional Ukrainian garb, the dancers are a bright, colorful vision on stage, often twirling ribbons and spinning about. Men’s costumes for these dances represent traditional Kozak dress–tall boots, a loose shirt, a sash tied around the waist, “sharovary”, and often even overcoats, hats, and swords. Women’s costumes include a heavily embroidered blouses, skirt featuring intricate geometric and color patterns, and headpieces made of flowers and ribbons, called a vinok. While the costumes are elaborate, they do offer comfort and easy movement for the dancers.
Since the dance is so physically demanding, one must have a great level of stamina, flexibility, and immense athletic ability to perform the Hopak. Complex acrobatic movements are common in stage arrangements of the dance. Most of the physical stunts are performed by men, either in unison or solo. Moves include high jumps, spins, squats at fast speeds and high energy levels. The technicality to perform such feats is impeccable! As in many Ukrainian dances, the dancers, especially the women, do not stop moving until the end of the dance.
