Danse Macabre is about “dance of death” that was considered as a “dance” that everyone should know as everyone will die one day.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is the NIV verse of Galatians 3:1-2:

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?

He is calling out the Galations and is not commending or celebrating their actions.

I hope this helps! :)
