I don't know whether these clips are actually from Odessa, or whether that is just the name of the style of dance. If the latter, it fits with Odessa's character as a Black Sea port with both traditional and international influences, and its reputation for progressive culture and arts.
Слава Україні!
The captions are in Russian, not Ukrainian; this one is "The Girl in a Cotton Dress"
"Cossack Dance" (cultural, not military)
"Continuation"
My mother was born in Odessa. She and my father were pretty good dancers, but not like the ones above. More like these, though in American jitterbug style.
"My Little Child (Beautiful Dance)"
"Dancing of Sandra Ryottir and Stephan Zayuer"
