The term horon derives from Greek choros (Greek: χορός, romanized: khorós), 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]

Originedit
Horon or horonu is the Turkish equivalent of the serra war dance of the Pontian Greeks, resembling the ancient Greek Pyrrhic armed dance.[4]
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] Horon dances require speed and agility in a dancer.[3]
