dance of death  

Definición

  • The dance of death, or danse macabre, seems to have first appeared as a practice in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It was expressed as a dance in allegorical form in which a group of the dead led a group of the living in a dance procession down to their graves to show the living that all are equal in death and that no one will escape death.
