  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 being performed. If you want to find places where you can go to watch this folk dance it is a good idea to check with the Visitor Center so that they can give you the dates and times of performances for you to go and see. They will have all the information that you will need.
