Hey Spooksters! This week we are discussing The Dancing Plague of 1518. This strange case of dancing mania occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace, in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518. It has been reported that up to 400 people took to dancing for weeks. We'll discuss some history, the almost month long event, theories, and more!
