A traditional circle dance popular in Eastern European and Jewish celebrations.
From Romanian and Hebrew 'hora', possibly from Greek 'choros' meaning 'dance' or 'chorus'. The dance spread through Jewish communities across Europe and became central to wedding celebrations and festivals.
The hora's circle formation symbolizes community unity and eternal connection, with dancers literally lifting celebrants toward heaven during joyous moments. Its infectious rhythm can turn even reluctant dancers into enthusiastic participants within minutes.
