The Kazotsky Kick is an Action taunt for all classes.
When the player activates the taunt, they will begin performing a traditional Ukrainian "Hopak" dance. The dance they perform will vary depending on what class is dancing. While in the taunt, the player can remain still, or move freely in any direction.
Similar to the Conga, any other player (including bots) can join in regardless of team or if they own the taunt.

Trivia
- The name of this taunt is a play on the word Kazatsky, which is a name for a Ukrainian dance known as the Hopac. Another name for this dance is the "Cossack Dance", a term which is commonly misused to describe the type of Russian folk dance this taunt is parodying.
- The kicking move featured in this taunt is called prisyadka in Russian, which translates roughly to "knee-bending".
- The Kazotsky Kick was an unused taunt titled "Taunt_Russian", which has been in the game files since Scream Fortress 2013.
- The Heavy, Soldier and Sniper variations of the Kazotsky kick are the only ones that were modified when it was made an official taunt (the Heavy Does the Splits, the Sniper claps & cracks his knuckles, and the Soldier salutes). All other class variants remain unchanged.
- As well, the taunt was originally only for the Heavy, but has since then been made all-class.
- This music (Soldier of Dance) was first heard in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map
de_train, coming from a small radio in a cafe upstairs to the right of the Terrorist team's spawn area. It differs from the Team Fortress 2 version in that it is at a slower tempo, and has fewer instruments and no vocal chanting. Due to coming from a radio, it is muffled and has a narrower range of treble and bass.
