Renowned for their strength and athleticism, the Russian Cossack Dance Ensemble "Bagatitsa" dance with vigour, sparkle and spontaneity, but behind each performance lies many hours of strenuous rehearsals and strong self-discipline, all under the watchful eye of their Artistic Director, Tatyana Fominyh. It is the dedication to professionalism in performance, and to perfectionism in costume, music, in fact, every detail, that has brought the company their continued success and international acclaim.

Unrivalled in their field, the Russian Cossack Dance Ensemble "Bagatitsa" captivate audiences with the ultimate in folklore presentation. Theirs is a truly remarkable performance, rich in energy, passion and excitement that will leave lasting memories of a truly remarkable evening's entertainment.

The Cossacks fiery dances and elaborate costumes are as true and honest as the souls of their country folk. The highlight of this spectacular show is the Great Cossack Dance for which special sabres have been made of titanium, ensuring sparks really do fly.

The word "Cossack" originally meant nomad horseman, or "freebooter". From the time of Genghis Khan, mounted bands had been roaming the undulating plain to the north of the Caspian and Black Seas. From the fifteenth century onwards, the Moscow Grand Dukes are known to have hired some of them to protect the southern and eastern marches against their kinsmen and other invaders.

But the Tatar Cossacks were soon joined by vast numbers of runaway peasants from Muscovite Russia and Polish Ukraine. They were hunters, fishermen and pastoralists by day and remained ever ready to take up arms for a sudden raid or a longer campaign.

The Volga and other waterways were important arteries of communication, sources of sustenance, and providers of refuge. The Zaporozhian settlement on the Dnepr was one of their first fortresses, colourfully caught in the epic canvas of Ilya Repin, depicting members of the 'circle' writing a mocking letter to the Turkish Sultan. Later, groups of Cossacks were formed on the Don, the Volga and further afield, eventually even in the Far East along the Amur and Ussuri running into the Pacific Ocean.

The Hopak, also known as Cossack dancing, originated in southern Russia and Ukrainian military communities in the 1600s. When the Cossacks would return from battle, the men would celebrate through this improvised dance. Community musicians would gather their instruments, including violins, bagpipes and flute-like fifes, and join the others in a celebratory performance named the hopaky. As a way to celebrate, these ordinary military men would begin dancing and re-enacting their battle scenes for the community to see. They began pantomiming using their swords and other weapons, as local musicians would join them in their dance. The men then began to improvise, performing acrobatics in the air as well as other masculine moves such as squats in order to prove their manliness and heroism. This style of movement is what gave this dance the name Hopak, being derived from the Ukraine verb “hopaty” meaning to jump.

Cossack dance is famous all over the world for its unrivalled energy and high spirits. Vivid colours, audacious movement, enthusiasm and joy, catchy tunes and authentic costumes are unforgettable.

Lively Cossack songs, music and dancing handed down through generations in addition to authentic, hand-made national costumes make their performances very traditional in content, yet with a refreshing and modern twist. Dancers are filled with contagious enthusiasm, which creates a thrilling atmosphere.

They guarantee that at times you will find it hard to sit still!
