The Turkish folk danced named the Horon is a popular folk dance in the
Black Sea region. This dance is characterized by tense, quick
movements. It is usually danced by a line of women or men that stand
in a semi-circle.
This dance comes from the word "Horom". Imagine a line of cornstalks
tied together and looking as if it forms a lattice. This is what the
dance is like. It is also interesting because the dancers will
suddenly squat during this dance making it very exciting to watch.
When you are visiting in Turkey, you will be sure to see the Horon
