Shivaratri is the night when Lord Shiva is said to have performed the Tandava 26 27 28 29 Nritya or the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction.
According to the Puranas, during the Samudra Manthan, a pot of poison emerged from the ocean. The gods and the demons were terrified as it could destroy the entire world. When they ran to Shiva for help, he in order to protect the world, drank the deadly poison but held it in his throat instead of swallowing it.
