A Mysterious 'Dancing Mania' Struck Germany in 1518

Back in 1518 in Germany, there was this bizarre outbreak of what they called "dancing mania." Basically, folks just started dancing uncontrollably in the streets, like they couldn't stop even if they wanted to. It got so wild that it's said hundreds of people were affected, just dancing day in and day out. Some people even danced so much it took their lives! Crazy, right? Historians still scratch their heads over it, but it's one heck of a weird moment in history. #brightside Credit: Haka: www.davidmolloyphotography.com from Sydney, Australia, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
