I took a class recently on the Tarantella dance, the background of that 
is absolutely fascinating actually.  Depression, it was supposed by 
Medieval peasants in Southern Italy, was caused by the bite of the 
Tarantula, and dancing [and incidentally bringing up endorphins] is the 
spiritual cure.  <www.alessandrabelloni.com>
