A Slavic dance with a fast and typically quickening tempo, featuring a step in which a squatting dancer kicks out each leg alternately to the front.
‘I guess in Slavic dance, that would be properly called kazachoc - the dance that involves leaping, squatting, kicking out your legs.’
‘More time with her well respected teacher will ultimately see her performing dances of a different kind such as the kazachoc.’
‘As the rest tried to circle around him, he crossed his arms over his chest and began the Kazachoc Slavic dance, squatting and kicking each one squarely.’
Origin
Early 20th century: Russian, diminutive of kazak ‘Cossack’.
