Lesnoto (Macedonian and Bulgarian: Лесното, "The Easy One" or "The Simple One"), or Lesno, is the name of a family of simple, popular folk dances from North Macedonia, also done in Bulgaria and parts of neighboring Balkan countries.
These are probably the most common dances in the region, done at parties and mehanas (cafés) to both traditional and modern music.
In Bulgaria, it is sometimes called simply Makedonsko horo ('the Macedonian dance').
According to one source,[1] the Yugoslav folk dance collectors Ljuba and Danica Janković first applied the term, meaning 'light' or 'easy', to the vast category of dances having the general pattern "3 steps right, one step left" in 1939.
Today, it is usually done in mixed lines, with all dancers using either the "W" handhold or shoulder hold.
