This World's Longest dance. I was searching until i found this.

The roots of marathon dancing go as far back as the mid 14th century, but as a sport it never really took off until the 1920's.

To find the record for the world's longest dance we have to shuffle our way back to August 29 1930 when Mike Ritof and Edith Boudreaux started dancing at the Merry Garden Ballroom, Chicago, Illinois.

They did not stop until April 01 1931 after clocking in 5,152 hours and 48 minutes, claiming the dance marathon record and $2,000.00 cash.

Every dance marathon has it's own rules and we are not sure of the exact rules of this one, but we are pretty certain they were given breaks. We are also pretty sure that this record may never be broken.

I think its true, I don't know, i saw something like this in my book.

How Long can you go dancing without stopping, ;O?
 
I think it is true, people during that time were incredibly desperate for money due to the Great Depression. They needed the money to live otherwise they'd starve and try get food from a charity shop or whatever.
