CIRCASSIAN HORO - NORTH BULGARIA
The northern dance has a small step, light movements and fine even springing with the legs and shoulders. A very special feature is the wide and free waving of the hands. Most dances start slowly and calmly, but soon run out and speed up. During the long performance, the dancers often return to the initial calm and wide movements for relaxation.
The Circassians were settled during the Russian Circassian genocide of 1864-1867, mainly in the northern part of the country and near the Black Sea ports of Bourgas and Varna.
