Boogie Fever: The Medieval Dance Craze That Killed

from The StickyBeak

Today we're revisiting a very special episode, this one was requested by Steph, a lovely listener in Western Australia. I had never heard of "The Dancing Plague" until Steph reached out - such an interesting moment in history. Really enjoyed making this one, so thank you so much for requesting it Steph.In this episode we're going back in time, revisiting a remarkable event that unfolded in the city of Strasbourg, wayyyy back when. This historical phenomenon, known as the Strasbourg Dancing Plague, is truly bizarre... and absolutely fascinating.
