I guess Hopak means: The men display TREMENDOUS leg strength and do all the work, while the women just stand there looking pretty.

I'm an amateur boxer, and I'd also kill to be able to dance like that

And to think, Vaslav Nijinsky, at age 4, could do all these steps. Baletomanes will know who im talking about. Man, im a ballet dancer and id kill to be able to do what the men do.
