@workerscircle.bsky.social has digitized the archives of their English newsletter “The Call.” I tried searching for “dance” and found some 1930s Union dances like this 1932 Chicago dance that organizers hoped marked the end of the Great Depression.

Blood Libel | Holocaust Encyclopedia
Blood libels were false allegations that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish children in rituals. Nazi propagandists used this false charge in their antisemitic propaganda.
