  Hopak
A hopak is the traditional peasant dance of Ukraine; this "Hopak" is from Moussorgsky's opera, "Sorochinsky Fair".
Moussorgsky began writing the opera in 1874; despite encouragement from friends and benefactors, he was unable to finish it before his death in 1881.
While the rest of the opera has been largely forgotten, "Hopak" has survived the test of time (largely due to the popular piano arrangement by Sergei Rachmaninoff).

 DATELINE NEW YORK: "Hopak" returns with Moiseyev (01/24/99)
The Ukrainian national folk dance "Hopak" has been part of the Moiseyev Dance Company's repertoire since this Russian ensemble was founded by Igor Moiseyev in 1937.
It's a phrase that could also be used to describe the company's interpretation of the "Hopak." This whirlwind dance, highlighted by the male dancers' spectacular knee-bends, leg stretches and high jumps, excited the near-capacity audience, but disappointed a Ukrainian reporter accustomed to the national spirit of Ukrainian dance ensembles.
In addition, the women's costumes, with their rather skimpy jackets over shirts that featured elbow-length puffed sleeves, were too stylized to be truly attractive.
