3310 The seventh postcard of the series
"100 years since the Great Union of Romania" (7/12)
- traditional Romanian dance named hora. |
The seventh meeting of the Romanian postcrossers in the year of the Centenary of the
Great Union took place on July 14, 2018, in
Bucharest, and Mihnea Răducu chose for the postcard a traditional
Romanian folk dance named
horă. The dancers hold each other's hands and the circle spins, usually counterclockwise, as each participant follows a sequence of three steps forward and one step back. The dance is usually accompanied by musical instruments such as the
cymbalom,
accordion, violin,
viola,
double bass,
saxophone,
trumpet or the
pan pipes.
