293# The Dancing Plague of 1518: The Summer Strasbourg Lost Control
July 1518. The heat presses down like a hand. Grain prices are rising, illness is common, and fear of divine punishment hangs over the medieval streets of Strasbourg. Life under the Holy Roman Empire is harsh, superstitious, and tightly bound to faith. People believe saints can punish. Demons can tempt. And curses can spread.
So when one woman steps into the street and begins to dance without music, it is not seen as odd.
It is seen as a sign.
Within a month, it will become a catastrophe.
