I see dancers do it so much, I would think it has a name.
What's This Skill Called (Squat Roll)?

I dunno, but it looks like fun.
I'm not sure what it's called, but from my dance days, I think it's taken from Modern Dance. You might look there.
I dont think it has a specific name. Few of the movements in modern and contemporary dance(other than the ones named in ballet) have names. I have done a lot of floorwork related contemporary dance and there are loads of rolls similar to that and I seldom hear any names on them.

Side note on the Cossack dancers: Dat leg strength tho
New idea for a name: Artsy roll

Don't know if it should be called Batman roll, but we definitely need a move that has this name.
