Gopak (Hopak) - Igor Moiseyev ballet

[Superman96ism]

If they did brake dancing they would win the international title

[VictorVonFox]

i adore the foot work in this dance it's very unique

[armandocebolas]

ESPECTACULAR DANÇA

[willJthat]

nossa! a cada apresentação me admiro cada vez mais! aqui no Brasil também temos desta linda dança, parabéns aos dançarinos!

[schindler951]

Csodálatos, nem véletlenül világhírűek.

[jal5240]

Beautiful !! The dance is interesting and the ballet dancers are exceptional. Viva Moisseyev !!!!! Congratulatrions ! From Brazil, JAL

[ukrainaforever]

Россиянцы, не учите нас, как танцевать гопак - мы не будем вас учить, как жрать водку.

[Marciksongs]

Що стосується музики - аранжування :

є різні варіанти гопака та мелодії інших українських чоловічихі танців, які можна було би використати...

Все ж таки слухати 7 хвилин одну й ту саму мелодію - сказитися можна! :-)

[Msris1]

@Marciksongs что тут делают бараны з бракем мозгув?

[greatgnomex]

Espectacular la verdad la detonan



[nova170260]

GREAT DANCERS AND BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. THANKS FOR SHARING IT.

[minuana7]

Beatiful!

[lobamaluna]

Excelente video, !! que dolor de rodillas!!

[izmajlovo]

Никто не танцует гопак лучше чем москвичи, вот вам и доказательство их непонятной нации

[simplessboy]

Самостийным танцорам до такого уровня пока далеко

[micharon90]

what is the name of the Backgroundmusic?

[FilthJew]

this is absolutely fascinating, me and my dance group are performing on stage and dancing on this same songs using the same outfits! but were not anywhere close to their talents! respect Moiseyev.

[f1f1s]

Бубнист определённо лажает. Эх, стоит ему ещё годик походить на кафедру бубна.

А если серьёзно, то данный гопак представляет собою брачные игры (как у бабочек, только посложнее). Действительно, каждый самец рекламирует себя с определённой стороны; все одеты в яркие возбуждающие костюмы. Куда, думаете, после гопака, народ расходился? Картошку копать? А думаете, ночью на проспекте Вернадского барышни в высоких красных сапогах просто так стоят? Глубоки исторические корни фетиша, надо признаться.

[BORISSFEN]

это вам не лезгинка!!! куда как круче!!!!!

[lia275]

[R8FX]

it's a Ukranian dance but the dancers I believe are from Rusia

[outthehead]

very nice choreo! 

[attaragal1]

זה בכלל לא בלט זה ריקוד פולקלורי גרוזיני שיותר דומה לקזצ'וק רוסי ובכל זאת הוא די מרשים אהבתי מאוד

ג.עטרה מכל הלב

[rafaelteitelbaum]

maravilhozo nota 1o Rafael

[trippygs]

:DD

[larepimtb]

The Best !!!

[Solangeag]

it's amazing, these ballet dancers always make jumping seem something so much fun, and so light and effortless (when in reality it's quite different, obviously :P), it's almost as if they had bumpers under their feet hahahaha :D

[Gexer90]

nice

[kottoneverett]

The start of " The Dance Crew" I loved it

[Aeryful]

Ух ты.Загляденье.Ну и зажигают ребятки, глаз не оторвать. Москали переплюнули хохлов в украинских танцах. Супер пляска.)))

[kuznetsov1]

ochen prekrasno

[Ashlynnmyhr]

no words ... just amazing!

[babayola1]

Не можу сперечатися з Моїсеєвим,це був великий геній!Але що стосується лексики дівчат,важко це назвати танцем української манери.Швидше ,бачення українського танцю росіянами.

[metaMamay]

Постановка гарна. Тільки той "кордебалет" із 32 дівчат... "совсем чужиє на етом празнік жизні"... :)))

[Petescag]

There is no better Hopak then Virsky's .

[mayatatyana1]

Great dancers Moiseyev-Bravo! Thank you for posting.

[TheMJNews]

Haha, that is so cool. Gotta favorite it !

[shoooshi9500]

I saw them in live show last night ,

they were amazzzzzzzzzing !

[radiogreenblue]

you might also like this instrumental band from washington dc. they have a beautiful sounding violin, guitar and drums. very dreamy! search for "Radium Karmara"

[mmarie0789]

5:16 -- that did NOT just happen!

Does anyone know where I can get this version of the Hopak music? It's very nice..

[susannanyc]

THAT was amazing - the jump was sooo high. This is all very 'folk' choreography but you can see how the Slavic folk dancing influenced breakdancing today. The old and the new; very cool.

[bahiraluna]

@susannanyc It was danced like this looong before the word "breakdance" was invented.

maybe the jumps are too high for genuine folk dance but the style and choreo are real, not influenced by breakdancing, far from it. Moiseyev ballet was all about geniality

[starosta393]

Hans Schultz (1922) Geneva - Switzerland.

Reading these comments I realise that the Yankee are still the ignorant and brutal slave traders they always were. What an aefull contry - till total bankrupcy.

What a shame. Dark clouds are over our heads.

[Marina454692806]

вау! супер!!!

[BalletLoverA]

Ok guys! I think the ensemble is trully amazing and Moiseiyev was without doubt an extraordinary person for the world of dance!! But I didn´t actually like this Hopak, it has lots of russian influences on the choreografy and when you have some stuff like Virsky´s ensemble beside you CANNOT compare, in my opinion, as Ukranian dancers they are really good Russian Dancers!!

[SilvioRocha]

English is not my mother tongue and I am not a dance expert, but I have just one thing to say: I loved the ballet, the dancers, the costumes and of course, the lively music. Viva Moiseyev!!!

Silvio, from Rio.

[klf117]

I like Moiseyev, but he doesn't do Ukraine justice...all the rest of the world, yes...he does a Greek number, Sirtaky, & it is to die for. Totally academic, very high-class. He does Ukraine vulgarly, absolutely no class.

[klf117]

Further to my reply...I forgot to mention that the costuming is all wrong...the guys don't wear "svitky" (jackets in Hopak), & don't wear black boots...they wear red. And, the girls don't wear peasant blouses (short sleeves), they wear long sleeve blouses.

[Asanya2611]

Further to your comments...

you are claiming to be a dance expert...again i thought it's about dance not costumes. Same advice, find a proper occupation

[genek73]

you like Moiseev or not...decide first - talking about lack of class first tell others who's a first class... anyway the one who speaks Moiseev is a second class is vulgar ignorant fool so please shut your fuck up mister dance expert

[klf117]

Maybe, if you understood English, you'd understand what it is that I meant...I don't know about the country that you're from...but in Canada, it's called freedom of speech, & it's in our Charter of Rights & Freedoms. So, until otherwise stated, I can say whatever I want...oh, & btw...I am a dance expert! What have you done in dance...Probably NOTHING!!!!!

[Asanya2611]

i don't give a shit about your justice and freedom of speech...u say u're 'dance expert'? why talking about jurisprudence...only one advice - to change you occupation

[Asanya2611]

I understand English well enough to figure out you're the most ignorant dance expert of all. I am not claiming i am a dance expert all i know all the world knows Igor Moiseev's ballet... please tell your real name to the world so it would know the name of the a ignorant fool

[MrSpeakerman]

This is simply GOLD.The best I have ever seen. Inspiring.GODBLESS YOU ALL

[1day247]

Perfection!!!!

[SilverRedIndigo]

Absolutely charming!

[tomasfloyd]

BRAVO

[amir831991]

WOW!!! Absolutely amazing!

[oldgypsytap]

I had the privilege of seeing this company on their first visit to the U.S. Seeing this video is exciting but being there in person was an unforgettable thrill. Still have never seen anything to compare.....

[diegoapenaloza]

Sin palabras fabulosos...felicitaciones desde argentina!!!!

[bolshoiboy8]

what is wrong with it... i thought it 2 b amazing.

[elaikar5]

I was fortunate to see them in person. It was exciting, thrilling! Nothing negative to say, Only POSITIVE! Hard work for these excellent dancers! Standing ovations!

[Mynnalunica]

Que tal si bailaran un malambo! Son fabulosos!!!

[Lokis4Tutti]

SI!!!!!!!!

Me gustò tu idea!

Realmente son EXCELENTES!

[RQ6101]

excelente¡¡¡

[malenkah]

Qué barbarooooooooooooooo...!

[zroobavel]

Maaaan!!!

This stuff is way better than breakdance...

someday i'll know how to do that...

someday...

and the best is in the end every guy gets 2 girls... and i guess with the thighs they have they can handle it....

nice going there!!!!

[laboga75]

Bellisimo. Siempre he tenido admiracion por este tipo de danza

[WhisperingToTheWind]

Так это южнорусский гопак. :)))) Только русские казаки в синих шароварах ходят :)))

А станцевали просто фантастически хорошо, Чудо танец, чудо танцоры!!!

[aleksecond]

Мне кажется что это далеко не полный гопак. Странно, почему в баллетной школе не смогли поставить именно украинский, настоящий гопак, а слепили какую то херню

[36Arhip12]

различия в гопаках есть, но объединяет их идея и музыка... в противном случае надо называть- какой области этот танец. а у меня западэнские родственники считают " семь сорок" украинским танцем, на свадьбах , его больше всех и пляшут.

[aleksecond]

))))))))))

[MsLiand]

неправильные какие-то уваши "западэнские" родственники. Я прожила в связи с работой 2 года на Львовщине и в Закарпатье - там свою культуру очень уважают, помнят и чтут.

[inseita]

welch eine präzision !

welch synchronität !

und das tempo!  ALLE STERNE (:D

[ginga1950]

GREAT PERFOMANCE.THANK YOU

[bbenyos]

Gopak Moisseev Ballet is wonderful,but the video can't be seen anymore

[ulik888]

Браво!!!!! Magnificant and thanks for the sender

Wish they would come to Jerusalem for a performance

[DragonDrualt]

my dad did stuff like this when he was younger... we have pictures! loved this!

[urfine]

my father also did stuff like this too. I can see him in all his glory dancing to this music. I surely miss him.

[Tiamarta2000]

extraordinario !!!!!

[1991tora]

Дуже млявий гопак. Танцюють чудово, але темп повільний.

[Philflash]

Great performance!

[LilUber]

Russian ballet school are known all over the world as best ! And YES Moiseyev was a genius !

[432sdffsdfds]

@LilUber this is not russian, this is ukrainian !

[Whistlejocket]

Iused to dance like this in the 1950's and I loved it. We danced in Canada and many tv shows.

[bkerbis]

I'll have whatever they're having. LOL

[themayblums]

Wow, but see this in person...if it comes to your area. Moiseyev was the genius of this company. He took folk dance and made it art which it fundamentally is.

[derevnaiopa]

Одлично поздрав из братске Србије !!!!!!!!

Руси и Срби Браћа заувек !!!!!!!!!! Слава !!!

[Andron3]

отлично! *****

[HiyaHolaHey]

А мне нравится, очень динамично и в духе танца.

[Ucraina81]

якась кострубата ця постановка, відколи це українки задерають так високо ноги.

[szarawary]

...high enough to kick your behind, ha, ha, ha, ha

[Ucraina81]

ma sei un coglione o fai finta di esserlo???

[Ejeska]

originaly this Ukrainian dance is hiden combat training footman warrior against two mounted warriors. Just imagine 2 swords-sabre in his hands and his legs are directed into enemy.

[crazyboy238]

Actually, the Hopak was celebration of a victory in combat, where one man would share his tricks to outdo his comrades. Women were not added as background to the men for quite a while.....

[DeborahUSA]

Bravo! Bravo!

[MoscowSsky]
