Dance Fever
Dance Fever (pronunciation: /dæns 'fi:vər/) is a condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to dance. The term is often used metaphorically to describe a state of intense enthusiasm or excitement, particularly in relation to music or dancing.
Etymology
The term "Dance Fever" is derived from the English words "dance", which comes from the Old French danser, and "fever", which originates from the Latin febris, meaning "a rise in temperature". The term was first used in the late 19th century to describe the mass hysteria and spontaneous outbreaks of dancing that occurred in Europe during the Middle Ages, which were believed to be caused by a fever.
