This is one of my favorite YouTube clips ... I could watch it over and over! I wish I were as nimble as those Russian soldiers! I'm not normally a Rap music fan but it does seem to fit the bill here.

This comes from a theater groups Russian/Cossack folk dance production in the 1950s. They traveled a lot around the USSR and parts of Europe. One thing is for sure, they have strong knees!!

That's so true, Scrat! And thank you for providing some history behind the clip ... that explains why there were so many talented soldiers in one troop ... it wasn't in fact a troop ... it was a troupe! :yh_wink .

You're welcome, Kathy Ellen and thank you, along-for-the-ride, for the link! I bookmarked it so I can go back and look at them at leisure later. Love the one of the prisoners doing the hustle!!
