"Dance, sucka!"
Interesting historical fact discovered on Wikipedia:
In France, the year 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the middle of a street in Strasbourg. She danced constantly for approximately six days. Within a week, 34 other people joined her dancing. Within a month, the number had grown to around 400 people dancing in the town for no discernible reason, and without stopping to rest. Most of these 400 hysterical dancers died of heart attacks, stroke, or exhaustion.
Local physicians believed this dancing was caused by a condition called "hot blood", and rather than prescribing bleeding, they opened two guild halls and grain market, as well as employed musicians to keep people dancing. This more than likely led to most of the deaths.
