The Dancing Plague of 1518
When French Residents Had the Uncontrollable Urge to Dance Dance Until You Drop — Literally!
In July 1518, a strange mania seized the residents of the French city of Strasbourg. Hundreds were struck with the sudden and uncontrollable urge to dance — seemingly for no reason. The plague began when Frau Troffea entered the streets and began to twist, twirl, and shake. She seemed unable to stop and danced until she dropped from exhaustion. However, once she rested, she resumed the compulsive, frenzied dancing. She continued for a week, and other residents eventually joined her. Many dancers would collapse from exhaustion, and some even died from heart attacks or strokes! The most widely accepted theory is that the plague was a mass psychogenic disorder, which can occur under extreme stress. During this time, a series of famines and diseases tore through Strasbourg, which may have triggered the hysteria.
Whatever the cause of this strange phenomenon, the dancing plague remains one of the world’s most interesting mysteries.
