or 11

) similar to kopanitsa or krivo horo. The name gankino seems to be used mostly in northern Bulgaria. The basic gankino horo is a three-measure dance using the step structure also common in the dances: Dunavsko (Danubian Pravo), Povarnoto (also known as Devetorka in North Macedonia) and Eleno Mome.

The three measures comprise a seven-step grapevine[clarification needed], starting right foot to the right, L cross in front - two measures. The third measure is a three-step grapevine to the left: left steps left, R cross in back. L to the L.
