Dance
Fever
was
recorded
predominately
in
London
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic
in
anticipation
of
the
world’s
reopening.
It
conjures
up
what
Florence
missed
most
in
the
midst
of
lockdown
-clubs,
dancing
at
festivals,
being
in
the
whirl
of
movement
and
togetherness
-and
the
hope
of
reunions
to
come.
It’s
the
album
that
brings
back
the
very
best
of
Florence
–
the
festival
headlining
Boudicca,
wielding
anthems
like
a
flaming
sword.
Just
before
the
pandemic
Florence
had
become
fascinated
by
choreomania,
a
Renaissance
phenomenon
in
which
groups
of
people
-
sometimes
thousands
-
danced
wildly
to
the
point
of
exhaustion,
collapse
and
death.
The
imagery
resonated
with
Florence,
who
had
been
touring
nonstop
for
more
than
a
decade,
and
in
lockdown
felt
oddly
prescient.
The
image
and
concept
of
dance,
and
choreomania,
remained
central
as
Florence
wove
her
own
experiences
of
dance
-
a
discipline
she
turned
to
in
the
early
days
of
sobriety
-
with
the
folkloric
elements
of
a
moral
panic
from
the
Middle
Ages.
In
recent
times
of
torpor
and
confinement,
dance
offered
propulsion,
energy
and
a
way
of
looking
at
music
more
choreographically.
