“Did you know there was once a time when people danced… nonstop… for DAYS?” In the year 1518,
a woman in Strasbourg started dancing in the street—out of nowhere! “But then… the STRANGEST
thing happened. Dozens of people joined her… and they couldn’t stop either!”
“Soon, over 400 people were dancing nonstop! Even the town hired musicians because
they thought it would ‘dance the sickness out.’” “So yeah… medieval Europe once had
a real-life Dancing Plague. Imagine explaining THAT to your boss: ‘Sorry… I couldn’t
come to work. I was too busy dancing for 3 days!’”
