The Dance of Thieves is believed to have originated in the 1750s, during the reign of King George II. At that time, London was experiencing a surge in crime, and the authorities were struggling to keep up with the growing number of thieves and beggars. In response, these groups developed their own language, known as "Cant" or "Rotwelsch," which allowed them to communicate without being understood by outsiders. dance of thieves
