The Danse Macabre or Dance of death, was most common in paintings around the time of the Black Plague outbreak in Europe.
The reason why it is called the dance of death is because if you where infected with the plague some people would loose control over their limbs and movement when this happened they appeared to be dancing.
well this is what my history teacher told me.
