Choros

Part of speech: noun

Definitions

1. A group of performers, often dancers or singers, providing a cohesive and unified display in theatrical or musical contexts
2. The term can also refer to a specific type of ancient Greek dance or performance associated with choral singing
3. Additionally, it signifies a structured space designated for this form of artistic expression, often found in historical sites or performances

Etymology: English borrowed this from Portuguese "choro", which means "lament" or "weeping". The word therefore came into English with a sense of mourning rather than music. "Choros" is an alternative form of the same word, so the two spellings share this origin.

Synonyms: dance, chorus, round dance, circle dance
