If you’ve ever seen The Nutcracker, you might remember seeing this fast,
exciting Russian dance that the Cossacks created long ago. Cossacks
were fierce warriors who loved battle, and apparently loved to dance
as well!
Mrs. Maegdenmmaedgen1@kleinisd.net
The men that dance to this song are in very colorful clothes and boots similar to a
Russian soldier. “Trepak” is short, exciting and fun.
