Description

Class Experience

The year was 1518. One person began dancing, others joined in... and none of them could stop for over a month. But why did this happen? And what did the city of Strasbourg, France do about it?

In this class, students will learn about the infamous Dancing Plague!

Topics to be covered:
- How did it begin?
- Why couldn't the people stop dancing?
- What did the city of Strasbourg do about it?
- A timeline of what happened during the event
- Discussion and theories on why this happened
-...

Students will learn about what happened during the Dancing Plague of 1518 and the theories behind the infamous event.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

There will be a short pop quiz at the end of class for learning comprehension.
