ASMR | The Dancing Plague of 1518… when people couldn’t stop dancing
Description
In this soft spoken ASMR video, I take a look at the strange and fascinating story of the Dancing Plague of 1518. In Strasbourg, hundreds of people reportedly began dancing uncontrollably for days… or even weeks. In this video, I gently walk through what happened, some of the theories behind it, and what people at the time believed was causing it. This is a calm, slightly rambling, educational-style ASMR video with light page sounds, tracing, and a relaxed pace. Thank you for watching 🤍 #asmr #softspoken #historyasmr #educationalasmr #relaxing #strangehistory
Want to keep listening with the screen off?
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
