Name
[ edit ]
Etymology
[ edit ]
The term horon derives from Greek choros Greek : χορός , romanized : khorós 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
[ edit ]
Over 50 variations of horon have been identified in a single region.[3]
Origin
[ edit ]
Horon or horonu is the Turkish equivalent of the serra Pontian Greeks , resembling the ancient Greek Pyrrhic armed dance.[4]
Dance
[ edit ]
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] [3]
