#1 This is what I learded in piano lessons, so very long ago - 'victims who had collapsed or were convulsing would begin to dance with appropriate music and be revived as if a tarantula had bitten them.'

More boring is the first definition - Tarantella is a group of various folk dances characterized by a fast upbeat tempo, usually in 6/8 time (sometimes 18/8 or 4/4), accompanied by tambourines.[2] It is among the most recognized forms of traditional southern Italian music.
