I had a really hard time deciding what the first post on this blog was going to be🤔😢. I thought about writing about a certain Ghanian monarch👑🦁 who made a very expensive golden mask 💸🤑💲💱💰 that was taken during a British invasion, then I thought about a rather funny invention I came across online involving a chair that relieves stress by massaging your bum in a "smart" way.😌😂😁 Luckily I saw a Wikipedia article🤓🤓 about people that danced to their death. Yup you read that right, they danced to their death.😢😧 Now that's just weird and funny. This is the "Dancing plague of 1518"
Now imagine😣 you were dancing to one of your favorite songs, 😎you Know, that song that brings out the break dancer in you,👯💃🕺👯
the one that makes you want to just move your body and let off some steam. (mine is always going to be shape of you by Ed Sheeran). So there you are dancing, 💃🕺🕺nailing every move and then all of a sudden, unexpectedly just when you were about to show off some of your killer moves,😎🕺 out of the blue, the music stops😒😒 but you're unable to stop dancing. I know right,😧😧 How on Earth is someone unable to stop dancing? 🙄🙄This is exactly what occurred in Strasbourg Alsace, in the Holy Roman Empire in July 1518. People danced non-stop for days over a long period of time leading to collapse, stroke, exhaustion and as far as a heart attack. (The link to the article is at the end of this post). The really weird thing is that it started with one person and soon many others joined in.
The cool part of this Issue is that no one really knows what caused it. Various theories have been written by different professionals. Some say it was caused by food poisoning but what food can make a person dance to death? Okay, that's that. See you in the next post.😛😜😝
