It's Ukraine's national dance. It's a show-off dance originally performed by males, with a focus on jumps, leaps, and tricks. However, the dance is now performed by both males and females, usually as a grand finale to a show and features the best of what the performers can do with leaps, spins, combinations, and turns. It's high paced and usually really amazing to watch.

What was the name of the Russian folk dance Fonzie did?

It's commonly known as the Cossack Dance, but this is one of those cases of mislabeling by foreigners. In Ukraine, "Cossack Dance" or Kazatsky, is another name for the Ukrainian Hopak stage dance. The squat-and-kick move is properly called Preesyadkee (knee-bending) and is just one part of the dance, but it's the only part known to most non-Russians. It's one of the more difficult parts of the dance, requiring good balance and substantial leg muscle strength, but of course Mother Russia Makes You Strong.
