Etymology

The name 'Oro' derives from the dialectal form of the word 'Orao', meaning 'Eagle', referring to how the dance is performed to resemble the movements of an eagle.^[2]

Popularity

The Oro is typically danced at the weddings and celebrations of the population in Montenegro and Herzegovina ^[3]. It is also included into stylized folklore choreography and performed at competitions worldwide by folk dance groups from Montenegro and Serbia.
