Where does the Hora dance originate from?

Hora, also known as horo and oro, is a type of circle dance originating in Aromanian and Romanian communities, especially in Romania and Moldova. It is also found in other South East European countries and culturally adopted by ethnic minorities such as the Ashkenazi Jews and the Roma.

Etymology

The name, spelled differently in various countries, is derived from the Greek χορός (khorós): “dance”, which is cognate with the Ancient Greek art form of χορεία (khoreía). The original meaning of the Greek word χορός may have been “circle”.[3]

Also, the words hora and oro are found in many Slavic languages and have the meaning of “round (dance)”; the verb oriti means “to speak, sound, sing” and previously meant “to celebrate”.
