The Disease That Makes You Dance to Death | Tales From the Bottle

Lace up your dancing shoes, because 'Tales From the Bottle' travels back to a time when dancing til you're dead was a legitimate concern.
"The dancing plague (or dance epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace, in the Holy Roman Empire in July 1518. Around 400 people took to dancing for days without rest and, over the period of about one month, some of those affected collapsed or even died of heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion."
