Hora

These are traditional dances that mainly involve the feet and legs in sequences of steps, pauses, skips and waggles – the arms are used to hold on to the people next to you, either in a circle or a snaking conga line. The type of horo will depend on the specific type of event or song – each region also has its own horo - and dancing will break out at any kind of celebration or whenever there’s drinking and a live band. There’s no stigma attached to hora and usually the most ‘manly’ men will be the ones leading the dance.
