Hodoroaga (haw-daw-RWAH-gah) translates as “rambling old woman”. An alternate translation – “the rickety one”. It’s considered by Romanian dance scholars to be a southern Transylvanian variant of Schioapa, with its 9/8 Q,Q,Q,S, rhythm. I can find no YouTube examples of its existence outside of performance settings, so I’m calling it a 1st Generation dance.
