This essay explores the role of dancing in the late medieval Dance of Death or Danse macabre imagery. An examination of contemporary medieval sermons, visionary writings, and folk legends suggests that death and dancing were closely connected throughout the Middle Ages, and that this connection was highly significant for the implied audiences of the danse macabre. I finally argue that dancing works as a sign of death and its displacement in the Dance of Death imagery
