Wikipedia<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nMartorii au descris scene \u0219ocante. Oamenii se mi\u0219cau spasmodic, transpirau abundent, aveau convulsii \u0219i continuau s\u0103 danseze chiar \u0219i atunci c\u00e2nd erau complet epuiza\u021bi. Unii c\u0103deau la p\u0103m\u00e2nt din cauza oboselii, deshidrat\u0103rii sau foamei.<\/p>\n
Autorit\u0103\u021bile au angajat muzican\u021bi, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 dansul este leacul <\/p>\n
Cum nimeni nu \u00een\u021belegea cauza fenomenului, medicii vremii au ajuns la concluzia c\u0103 singura solu\u021bie era ca bolnavii s\u0103 \u201edanseze p\u00e2n\u0103 se vindec\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n
Autorit\u0103\u021bile din Strasbourg au amenajat chiar spa\u021bii speciale pentru dans \u0219i au angajat muzican\u021bi \u0219i persoane care s\u0103 \u00eei sprijine fizic pe cei afecta\u021bi, pentru ca ace\u0219tia s\u0103 poat\u0103 continua s\u0103 danseze.<\/p>\n
M\u0103sura a avut \u00eens\u0103 efectul opus. Num\u0103rul participan\u021bilor a crescut, iar autorit\u0103\u021bile au interzis ulterior muzica \u0219i dansul \u00een spa\u021biile publice.<\/p>\n
\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, cei afecta\u021bi au fost trimi\u0219i \u00eentr-un sanctuar dedicat Sf\u00e2ntului Vitus, despre care se credea c\u0103 \u00eei poate elibera de presupusul blestem. Potrivit relat\u0103rilor istorice, dup\u0103 aceste ritualuri fenomenul a \u00eenceput treptat s\u0103 dispar\u0103, iar p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een luna septembrie epidemia s-a stins.<\/p>\n
Istoricii nu au ajuns nici ast\u0103zi la un consens privind num\u0103rul victimelor.<\/p>\n
Unele relat\u0103ri ap\u0103rute la zeci de ani dup\u0103 eveniment sus\u021bin c\u0103, \u00een perioada de v\u00e2rf a epidemiei, mureau chiar \u0219i 15 persoane pe zi, din cauza infarctului, epuiz\u0103rii sau deshidrat\u0103rii. Totu\u0219i, documentele oficiale din Strasbourg nu men\u021bioneaz\u0103 un num\u0103r clar de decese, iar unii cercet\u0103tori cred c\u0103 este posibil ca aceste informa\u021bii s\u0103 fi fost exagerate.<\/p>\n

Ce cred cercet\u0103torii c\u0103 s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat, de fapt <\/p>\n
La peste 500 de ani de la eveniment, explica\u021bia exact\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2ne necunoscut\u0103.<\/p>\n
Una dintre teoriile populare sus\u021bine c\u0103 oamenii s-ar fi intoxicat cu ergot, o ciuperc\u0103 ce cre\u0219te pe secara folosit\u0103 la prepararea p\u00e2inii \u0219i care produce substan\u021be cu efecte halucinogene. Totu\u0219i, numero\u0219i speciali\u0219ti resping aceast\u0103 ipotez\u0103, argument\u00e2nd c\u0103 intoxica\u021bia nu ar fi putut determina sute de oameni s\u0103 danseze zile \u00eentregi.<\/p>\n
Cea mai acceptat\u0103 explica\u021bie \u00een prezent este cea propus\u0103 de istoricul John Waller, care consider\u0103 c\u0103 fenomenul a fost un caz de isterie colectiv\u0103 sau boal\u0103 psihogen\u0103 \u00een mas\u0103. \u00cen acea perioad\u0103, regiunea era afectat\u0103 de foamete, epidemii \u0219i s\u0103r\u0103cie extrem\u0103, iar stresul acumulat ar fi putut declan\u0219a un comportament colectiv neobi\u0219nuit.<\/p>\n
Potrivit lui Waller, oamenii au intrat \u00eentr-o stare asem\u0103n\u0103toare transei, iar dansul necontrolat s-a r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit rapid prin imita\u021bie \u0219i sugestie.<\/p>\n
Epidemia de dans din 1518 r\u0103m\u00e2ne unul dintre cele mai bizare \u0219i mai studiate fenomene din istorie, iar cercet\u0103torii continu\u0103 \u0219i ast\u0103zi s\u0103 dezbat\u0103 ce a provocat comportamentul inexplicabil al sutelor de oameni care au dansat p\u00e2n\u0103 la epuizare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
