'''Gankino horo''' ({{lang-bg|Ганкино хоро|lit=Ganka’s dance}}) is a [[Bulgarian dances|Bulgarian folk dance]] written in 11 (undecuple) = 2+2+3+2+2 [[metre (music)|time]] (typically {{music|time|11|16}} or {{music|time|11|8}}) 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{{clarify|date=March 2016}}, 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.
