What's the name of that style of traditional Russian (or maybe Ukrainian?) dancing that involves a lot of spinning around and extending your leg? I know this isn't the best description but I'm hoping someone will know what I'm referring to.

Well I've seen the "YEAAAAAAHHHH" on TV. And it's an artifical way of creating some sort of energy which should be naturally created IMO. Silly Yanks.
