Stories of mass hysteria
Stories of mass hysteria
Souce
Few things are as healthy as dancing, you do cardiovascular exercise, while you produce hormones that make you feel good, and incidentally it's fun, we do it to live together, to celebrate, and to forget our problems, but you know that it is not healthy to dance without stopping, more than to eat and sleep or faint from exhaustion for days, weeks or months.

Choreomania is a type of collective hysteria, a mass psychogenic and sociogenic disease, that is, it originates from a mental illness combined with the social context and requires a group of people to detonate and become an epidemic.

The first records of a dance epidemic are from the year 1027, on Christmas night outside the Calvik church, a town in Germany, a group of 18 people who were drinking, dancing and singing interrupted the Christmas mass with their merriment, and the priest came out to curse them to dance and sing non-stop for a year until the following Christmas as punishment and the 18 people actually continued dancing and singing against their will for days.

These stories do not sound very credible, one is from almost 1000 years ago and tells of priests who place and remove curses and the other bears a suspicious resemblance to the story of the Pied Piper of Hameln, which tells of a mysterious young man with a flute who comes to a village to offer his pest control services, luring the town's rats with the music of his flute and when the inhabitants refuse to pay for his services the piper uses the flute to take the children away as he claimed. did with the rats.
