Kazaky(pronounced like Cossacks) - Ukrainian male a dancing group consisting of four professional dancers, founded in 2010 V Kyiv.

About the group

It all started when Stas Pavlov entered the Department of Modern Choreography, got acquainted with the choreographer Oleg Zhezhel, already well-known in Ukraine, became a member of his show ballet "Dels-Art" and invited his friend Kirill Fedorenko there, with whom they studied together in KNUKII. After some time, Artur Gaspard joined the trio. The guys got to know each other, got to know each other and began to experiment, trying to find the style of the future group. So in the course of the experiments, the idea was born, at first as a joke, and later became famous, with heels.

However, in August the team decided to leave one of the participants, Stas Pavlov. In his place came the Italian dancer and choreographer Francesco Borgato. With a new member, Kazaky presented two new music videos - "Dance and Change" and "Last Night", the first of which was filmed by the famous clip maker Alan Badoev. The group even managed to appear in the video clip of the popular American singer Madonnas on her single Girl Gone Wild» . In October 2012 The band released their debut studio album, The Hills Chronicles.

In November 2013, due to a knee injury, Oleg Zhezhel stopped his active work in the team. A year later, Stas Pavlov left the band again, and dancer and choreographer Artemy Lazarev took his place.

On June 4, 2016, it was announced on the group's official facebook page that Kazaky ceased to exist: "We are definitely not going to say this sad word goodbye to you, because, firstly, we will all be with you, just by separately; secondly - we do not rule out that in the future we want to get together and do something especially for you again,” the former members of the group wrote on social networks.

Criticism and image

The group is often accused of promotion of homosexuality, and some representatives of the Russian Cossacks believe that the name of the group offends and discredits them. In this regard, the band's concerts were repeatedly disrupted in many cities of Russia, in particular in Rostov region and in Gelendzhik. The participants themselves explained that the name of the group has nothing to do with the Cossacks, arguing that the roots of the name Kazaky are in Japanese.

The main elements of the group's choreography are acrobatic dance And waking.

An excerpt characterizing Kazaky

“There is something,” thought Nikolai, and this assumption was even more confirmed by the fact that Dolokhov left immediately after dinner. He called Natasha and asked what it was?
“I was looking for you,” Natasha said, running out to him. “I said you still didn’t want to believe,” she said triumphantly, “he proposed to Sonya.
No matter how little Nikolai Sonya did during this time, something seemed to come off in him when he heard this. Dolokhov was a decent and in some respects a brilliant match for the dowryless orphan Sonya. From the point of view of the old countess and society, it was impossible to refuse him. And therefore, the first feeling of Nikolai, when he heard this, was bitterness against Sonya. He was preparing to say: "And it's fine, of course, you have to forget the childhood promises and accept the offer"; but he didn't get to say it yet...
– Can you imagine! she refused, absolutely refused! Natasha spoke up. “She said she loved another,” she added, after a pause.
“Yes, my Sonya could not do otherwise!” thought Nicholas.
- No matter how much mother asked her, she refused, and I know she will not change if she said something ...
- And my mother asked her! Nikolay said reproachfully.
“Yes,” said Natasha. “You know, Nikolenka, don’t be angry; but I know you won't marry her. I know, God knows why, I know for sure, you will not marry.
“Well, you don’t know that at all,” said Nikolai; But I need to talk to her. What a charm, this Sonya! he added smiling.
- It's such a charm! I will send it to you. - And Natasha, kissing her brother, ran away.
A minute later, Sonya came in, frightened, confused and guilty. Nicholas went up to her and kissed her hand. It was the first time that on this visit they spoke face to face and about their love.
“Sophie,” he said at first timidly, and then more and more boldly, “if you want to refuse not only a brilliant, profitable party; but he is a fine, noble man... he is my friend...
Sonya interrupted him.
“I already refused,” she said hastily.
- If you refuse for me, then I'm afraid that on me ...
Sonya interrupted him again. She looked at him with pleading, frightened eyes.
"Nicolas, don't tell me that," she said.
- No, I have to. Maybe it's suffisance [arrogance] on my part, but it's better to say. If you refuse for me, then I must tell you the whole truth. I love you, I think, more than anyone ...
“That’s enough for me,” said Sonya, flushing.
- No, but I have fallen in love a thousand times and will continue to fall in love, although I have no such feeling of friendship, trust, love for anyone as for you. Then I'm young. Maman doesn't want this. Well, just, I'm not promising anything. And I ask you to think about Dolokhov's proposal,” he said, pronouncing his friend's name with difficulty.
- Don't tell me that. I do not want anything. I love you like a brother, and I will always love you, and I don’t need anything else.
- You are an angel, I do not stand you, but I am only afraid to deceive you. Nicholas kissed her hand again.

Iogel had the funniest balls in Moscow. This was said by mothers, looking at their adolescentes, [girls] doing their newly learned steps; this was said by the adolescentes and adolescents themselves, [girls and boys] dancing until they dropped; these grown girls and young people who came to these balls with the idea of condescending to them and finding the best fun in them. In the same year, two marriages took place at these balls. Two pretty princesses Gorchakovs found suitors and got married, and all the more they let these balls into glory. What was special at these balls was that there was no host and hostess: there was, like fluff flying, bowing according to the rules of art, good-natured Yogel, who accepted tickets for lessons from all his guests; was that these balls were still attended only by those who wanted to dance and have fun, as 13 and 14 year old girls want this, putting on long dresses for the first time. All, with rare exceptions, were or seemed pretty: they all smiled so enthusiastically and their eyes lit up so much. Sometimes the best students even danced pas de chale, of which the best was Natasha, distinguished by her grace; but at this, the last ball, only ecossaises, anglaises and the mazurka, which was just coming into fashion, danced. The hall was taken by Yogel to Bezukhov's house, and the ball was a great success, as everyone said. There were many pretty girls, and the Rostov young ladies were among the best. Both of them were especially happy and cheerful. That evening, Sonya, proud of Dolokhov's proposal, her refusal and explanation with Nikolai, was still circling at home, not allowing the girl to comb her braids, and now shone through with impetuous joy.
Natasha, no less proud that she was in a long dress for the first time, at a real ball, was even happier. Both were in white, muslin dresses with pink ribbons.
Natasha became in love from the very moment she entered the ball. She was not in love with anyone in particular, but she was in love with everyone. In the one she looked at at the moment she looked, she was in love with him.
- Oh, how good! she kept saying, running up to Sonya.
Nikolai and Denisov walked through the halls, looking affectionately and patronizingly at the dancers.
- How sweet she is, she will be, - said Denisov.
- Who?
“Mr. Athena Natasha,” answered Denisov.
“And how she dances, what a g"ation! - after a pause, he said again.
- Who are you talking about?
“About your sister,” Denisov shouted angrily.
Rostov chuckled.
– Mon cher comte; vous etes l "un de mes meilleurs ecoliers, il faut que vous dansiez," said little Yogel, approaching Nikolai. "Voyez combien de jolies demoiselles. [Dear Count, you are one of my best students. You need to dance. See how much pretty girls!] - He turned with the same request to Denisov, also his former student.
- Non, mon cher, je fe "ai tapisse" ie, [No, my dear, I'll sit by the wall,] said Denisov. "Don't you remember how badly I used your lessons?"
- Oh no! – hastily comforting him, said Yogel. - You were only inattentive, but you had the ability, yes, you had the ability.
The newly introduced mazurka began to play; Nikolai could not refuse Yogel and invited Sonya. Denisov sat down next to the old women and leaned on his saber, stamping his feet, telling something merrily and making the old ladies laugh, looking at the dancing youth. Yogel in the first pair danced with Natasha, his pride and best student. Softly, gently moving his feet in his shoes, Yogel was the first to fly across the hall with Natasha, who was timid, but diligently doing her steps. Denisov did not take his eyes off her and tapped time with his saber, with an air that clearly said that he himself did not dance only because he did not want to, and not because he could not. In the middle of the figure, he called to him Rostov, who was passing by.
“That's not it at all,” he said. - Is this a Polish mazu "ka? And she dances well." Knowing that Denisov was even famous in Poland for his skill in dancing the Polish mazurka, Nikolai ran up to Natasha:
- Go ahead, choose Denisov. Here she is dancing! Miracle! - he said.
When it was Natasha's turn again, she stood up and quickly fingering her shoes with bows, timidly, ran alone through the hall to the corner where Denisov was sitting. She saw that everyone was looking at her and waiting. Nikolai saw that Denisov and Natasha were arguing with a smile, and that Denisov refused, but smiled happily. He ran.
“Please, Vasily Dmitritch,” Natasha said, “let’s go, please.”
“Yes, thank you, Mrs. Athena,” said Denisov.
“Well, that’s enough, Vasya,” said Nikolai.
“It’s like Vaska is being persuaded,” Denisov said jokingly.
“I will sing to you all evening,” said Natasha.
- The sorceress will do everything with me! - said Denisov and unfastened his saber. He stepped out from behind the chairs, firmly took his lady by the hand, raised his head and put his foot aside, expecting tact. Only on a horse and in a mazurka was Denisov's small stature not visible, and he seemed to be the same fine fellow as he himself felt. After waiting for a beat, he looked at his lady from the side, victoriously and jokingly, unexpectedly tapped with one foot and, like a ball, rebounded resiliently from the floor and flew along in a circle, dragging his lady with him. He silently flew half the hall on one leg, and seemed not to see the chairs standing in front of him and rushed straight at them; but suddenly, snapping his spurs and spreading his legs, he stopped on his heels, stood like that for a second, with a roar of spurs, his feet tapped in one place, quickly turned around and, snapping his left foot with his right, again flew in a circle. Natasha guessed what he intended to do, and, not knowing how herself, followed him - surrendering to him. Now he circled her, now on his right, then on his left hand, then falling to his knees, circled her around him, and again jumped up and rushed forward with such swiftness, as if he intended, without taking a breath, to run across all the rooms; then he would suddenly stop again and make another new and unexpected knee. When he, briskly circling the lady in front of her seat, clicked his spur, bowing in front of her, Natasha did not even sit down to him. She fixed her eyes on him in bewilderment, smiling as if she did not recognize him. – What is it? she said.
Despite the fact that Yogel did not recognize this mazurka as real, everyone was delighted with the skill of Denisov, they incessantly began to choose him, and the old people, smiling, began to talk about Poland and about the good old days. Denisov, flushed from the mazurka and wiping himself with a handkerchief, sat down next to Natasha and did not leave her the whole ball.

Two days after this, Rostov did not see Dolokhov at his home and did not find him at home; on the third day he received a note from him. “Since I no longer intend to visit your house for reasons known to you and I’m going to the army, this evening I give my friends a farewell feast - come to an English hotel.” Rostov at 10 o'clock, from the theater, where he was with his friends and Denisov, arrived on the appointed day at the English hotel. He was immediately taken to the best room in the hotel, occupied by Dolokhov that night. About twenty people crowded around the table, in front of which Dolokhov sat between two candles. Gold and banknotes lay on the table, and Dolokhov threw the bank. After the proposal and refusal of Sonya, Nikolai had not yet seen him and was confused at the thought of how they would meet.
