Horon (Шаблон:Lang-pnt; Laz: Xoron) is a group of traditional folk dances from the Pontus or Eastern Black Sea Region in Turkey.

Name

Etymology

The term horon derives from Greek choros (Шаблон:Lang-el, see chorus), which means "dance." The earliest instance of its usage in a Turkic language is in Codex Cumanicus from 1303.[1]

In the provinces of Ordu and Giresun, the term horan is used instead of horon.[2]

Variants

Over 50 variations of horon have been identified in a single region.[3]

Origin

Horon or horonu is the Turkish equivalent of the serra war dance of the Pontian Greeks, resembling the ancient Greek Pyrrhic armed dance.[4]

Dance

The horon is typically performed by a group of men or women in a line or semicircle. This dance form involves fast shoulder shimmy (Greek: Τρέμουλο, tremoulo), trembling of the entire body, and sudden squats.[5] Horon dances require speed and agility in a dancer.[3]
