    It was just a tarantella, someone got bitten by a spider and needed to dance it out.

    Fantastic. Hadn't heard of this before :)

    Doesn't seem to even consider the idea that dancing itself is infectious - maybe people just got carried away in the spirit of it! :)

    I keep getting redirected to History.ca so can't get to the video at all... Is it available on Youtube?
