This week Innes tells us all about the Dance Plague which swept across Europe. It made people burst into uncontrollable dance for days on end! We float a ton of theories about the dancing, which range from the unlikely (it’s a ploy to get off work for a week) to the plausible (it’s all about them toxins). In the Big Question we discuss which popular dance we would choose to break out if we were infected with the plague.
