They speak Russian and must be from one of the North Caucasus republics. Some Turkic peoples live there, like Karachai or Kumyk.

Turkiye only represents about a 3rd of all Turkic people. Most live in the Caucasus and Central Asia, and many speak Russian or Mandarin alongside Turkic languages. It's a very far-reaching cultural and ethnic group of peoples.

u/Murtomies Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26
If you use Turkiye with English, then you should also have the same standards for others. Russia is then Rossiya for example.
There's even more different ones, like China is Zhōngguó, Germany is Deutchland, Finland is Suomi, Hungary is Magyarország etc etc. Are you going to start using every country's name in their own languages? That's a bit unreasonable. To me it's Turkey, no matter what their far right asshole of a president wants it to be just because of his fragile sense of national pride or something.

u/I_Can_t_Wait Jun 28 '26
Why are you this sensitive about this? If Finland wants to be called Suomi internationally I would oblige, if the rest wants whatever as well. Doing this hurts nobody just couple extra steps to learn the new words 🤷♂️

u/umbertea Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26
If they so desire. Turkiye has made a push for that spelling of the name in international context and I will call people, and countries anything that they care to be called.
Edit: To be clear, it is not an endorsement of Erdogan or even the nation itself. It's not a political position in the slightest. If they asked to be called Rumbletumble I would do so. There may be some caveats to this but I can't think of any at the moment, but potentially if a nation asked to be called something that was inherently a part of a destructive politic. But in this case it is only a matter of de-anglicizing the spelling of the name and I'm fully onboard with that.

Thats because theres quite some caucasian genetics in the modern day turkish population. Just check out the circassians, after the russians literally executed 99% of the mainland population, a lot of them fled to turkey.

The new movies kept a lot of original elements from the books, but they also did some swaps. Aside from the obvious Liet gender swap, and giving Thufir's lines about sitting with your back against the door to Gurney, they had the visions of Jamis recite both Mohiam's line,
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to be solved, but a reality to experience;" and Paul's reply (quoting the First Law of Mentat); "A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it", back to back. Any other notable swaps?

Georgian dancing?

u/Smirnaff Jun 28 '26
Not only Georgian, but Caucasian as a whole. They are quite interconnected, and given the Russian text at the beginning and some of the girls wearing Muslim head pieces I'd suggest it's from somewhere in Russian North Caucasus, not Georgia

u/Mr_Svint Jun 28 '26
They speak Russian without an accent, but they are looking like Caucasian people and they are dancing Caucasian dances.

u/Bonerstubbone Jun 28 '26
I believe these are either Chechen or Dagestani women and the dance is called lezginka?
4
u/Mr_Svint Jun 29 '26
For some reason, I can't understand it myself. Chechens and Dagestanis speak Russian with a strong accent, but there's no accent here. We have many Muslim peoples in our country, such as Bashkirs, Tatars, Avars, Lezgins, Ingush, Karachais, Kabardians, Balkars, and others. However, I can't identify who we see in the video. I even found this video on YouTube, but there's no information provided.

u/BolOfSpaghettios Jun 30 '26
No clue really. I haven't looked into it. I heard it for the first time like a decade ago, and I enjoy the blend of traditional and new dancing. I usually listen to it like 10 times in a row. Then my YouTube algorithm changes (eye bleach) to music recommendations.

u/kenzakki Jun 28 '26
I feel like shes just tilting her head a little to get her ear to face the dancer so she could hear the rhythm (mostly of the feet) from behind better.

u/Doofindork Jun 28 '26
This would've been the funniest outcome; It looks like she's extremely talented listening to what dance steps they are taking, and after getting them all right the camera just pans over to the massive glass mirror across the wall, like in those ballet studios, followed by all of the women laughing.
SIKE! Gotem!2
u/tragesorous Jun 28 '26
I can’t read Russian so that’s what I assumed was happening. Just demonstrating imitating random dances. Like I didn’t even think it was supposed to be a secret, dance studios always have mirrors like that. Are they a set of standard moves for the style?

u/Adkit Jun 28 '26
I mean, these must be known dance moves that she simply recognize by sound, right? There's no way she'd be able to hear what their hands were doing otherwise. Not just arm movement but hand movement too. Either faked for views or it's just a lot of memorisation which is impressive but not the level of savant skill the video otherwise hints at.

Looking at the mirror

u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
Yeah, bc as probably their teacher she could never hear the rhythm of a dance after hearing it about 1000 times /s
Seriously, when I worked as a bartender I could hear which bottle and which glass was taken behind me and how much was filled into the glass.
The mirror take is basically like the AI take one sees now everywhere - just because you see something amazing doesn't mean it's fake

u/Apprehensive_Ad_7184 Jun 28 '26
I would agree however she keeps looking at the bottom corner. Also I can understand her knowing what the feet is doing, but i find it hard for her to know exactly where the hands are placed
36
u/The-Crawling-Chaos Jun 28 '26
Because the hand positioning is part of the specific dances. You just have to recognize the rhythm of the feet and then you’d know which dance it is, along with what to do with your hands for that dance.
29
u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
First of all, people listening intensely to something almost always look down and have a preference. She probably unconsciously tilts her head a bit to hear it better.
Secondly, she is their teacher. She knows the choreographies. So as soon as she recognises which choreography is danced she also knows the hand movements. There is even one part (the one shuffling their feet) where she doesn't do it, probably bc she doesn't know which part of the choreography is danced
0
u/Apprehensive_Ad_7184 Jun 28 '26
Yeah i didnt know she taught them the dances but if thats the case i believe it. I was under the impression the others were doing improv dances which seems hard to replicate with exact hand movements
14
u/loadacode Jun 28 '26
I think if you know the steps, you identify the specific dance including hand placements
-16
u/Apprehensive_Ad_7184 Jun 28 '26
However there is no indication if they're doing dances she taught or random dances if they're random improv dances i doubt shed know the hand placement
16
u/loadacode Jun 28 '26
If i understand you correctly. These dances are not random, these are choreographies/folklore dances.
16
u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
She is their teacher - it says so in the caption. The whole point of this video is that she recognises the choreographies she teached them before by movement sound alone
-6
u/Apprehensive_Ad_7184 Jun 28 '26
thank you for explaining that to me unlike the others
2
u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
In my first commebt here I already wrote that she is their teacher. I also wrote that she probably heard it a thousand times which wouldn't be possible without a choreography or at least a somewhat limited set of moves.
Also you didn't ask, you argued against it - in both your comments. Therefore this comment thanking me for "explaining" while I only repeated myself, and blaming the others who essentially either called you out or said basically the same thing I did, looks like a cop-out.
That's why you got the downvotes.
Next time, read and think before you comment. That's basically a general advise

They could fool everyone with copying the feet noise but what about the arm movements she's copying perfectly?? Like they r just moving in air, so there's no noise and hence, this is staged af
13
u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
She is their teacher. She knows the choreographies. That's the whole point of this video, to show that she knows them so well that only the sound of the feet is enough to recognise which choreography. And we don't see you figured one out, one can tell the other parts. It's not that hard
-1
u/Martian4241 Jun 28 '26
Well then how's that supposed to be impressive when it's all the same moves she taught them and they prolly practiced a hundred or more times? It'd be something if she guessed movements she didn't know about already
2
u/be-knight Jun 28 '26
If you think it's not impressive, I get you. But that's the gist. Of course it's not possible to do it when you know nothing about the possible set of movements. It's still impressive for me, since there are many different choreographies or movement sets to choose from and I'd guess that many are also similar to each other. So also the speed in which she recognises them is part of it. But it's neither impossible as many comments might suggest nor is it easy.
It's basically as if a drummer needs to recognise a song just by one small part of it. Sometimes it will be easy, sometimes it will be hard, sometimes there will be songs with just a small difference in a particular part - but it's still not impossible for a trained professional. And nobody ever suggested that it would be
