Hora (dance)

Form of circle dance originating in Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, Greece and the Balkans

Hora, also known as horo and oro, is a type of circle dance traditionally performed in Southeast Europe. Circle dances with similar names are found in Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, North Macedonia, Greece and Turkey, and among ethnic minorities such as the Ashkenazi Jews (Yiddish: האָרע hore), Sephardic Jews (Ladino: הורו horo) and the Roma. Combining elements from Eastern European circle dances, the Balkan hora, the Yemenite step and Hasidic dancing, the hora became a defining symbol of early Zionist culture.
