The 'dancing plague,' also known as choreomania, refers to a series of events in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries where groups of people danced uncontrollably for days or weeks, often until they collapsed from exhaustion or, in some cases, died. For the purposes of this market, a 'return of the dancing plague' would be defined as at least three well documented events where a group of 50 or more individuals are reported to have uncontrollably danced in the same location during a period of 12 hours or more, without being part of a pre-arranged performance or protest. Verification of such an event must come from credible sources, such as major news organizations, academic studies, or government health agencies. Explicit references to a return of the dancing plague in relation to these events must have been made by reputable new organizations in order for this market to resolve as YES.
