Episode description as stored
The dancing plague of 1518, was a case of dancing mania that occurred in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518. Somewhere between 50 and 400 people started dancing for weeks. Though it's not the only to occur, few were as large...and deadly. So what could have led people to dance themselves to death?! Let's gossip about it.
Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
