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.
