The collective name given to the music works written in the genre of Zur (a fluent, lively, cheerful, passionate male and female duet from the Mazovia region of central Poland) that spread to France and gradually became popular in European countries in the 18th century. Court dance choreographers from various countries have compiled and processed the Polish Mazurka into ball dance and stage forms. Its music rhythm is 3/4, and its characteristic is that one beat falls on the 1st or 2nd beat. The dance is characterized by sliding steps and heels. Collision, male dancers are on the ground with one leg, female dancers are mainly dancing around and rotating in pairs. Mazurkas are included in the famous dance dramas "Lemunda" and "Swan Lake", as well as the opera "Millions of Susanin". The famous composer Chopin wrote many masterpieces in this musical genre.

Hora is a Romanian folk dance. Dancing the Hora is an essential part of Romanian weddings or festivals. It is also a form of popular entertainment with bright music rhythm and beautiful melody, which reflects the cheerful, joyful and freedom-loving character of the people in the Balkans.
The dance begins with young men and women joining in a row, inviting women to join in, then married people, and finally old people. Everyone forms a circle, taking one step forward, one step back, three steps to the left, and five steps to the right. Repeat this process until the circle gradually rotates counterclockwise; occasionally it gathers toward the center, and then disperses to restore the formation. Participants can reach up to Hundreds of people; often dancing for hours until they have the best time.
