The Omal (also called Duz Horon or Flat Horon) was one of the first
Pontic Greek folk dances to be developed from the region of
Pontos. In the
Pontic language, omal means "regular" or "smooth."[1] It is a relaxed dance and is danced for long periods of time, usually preluding the
tik dance. There are many different melodies for different songs; one of the most famous songs is Serranda Mila Kokkina (σεράντα μήλα κόκκινα) (40 red apples). The step count is step-2-3-4, step-2. It is danced hand by hand.
