In July of 1518 in Strasbourg, France, a woman named Frau Troffea walked into the street and started to dance. She continued to dance on the street for several days, and by the end of the week 34 others had joined her. By the end of the month there were around 400 dancers in the streets. These people danced uncontrollably and in bizarre fashion; shouts, screams, and singing were reported to accompany hallucinations. Eventually, many would die from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.
