a dance marathon is were people dance for a long period of time. dance marathons got started in the 1920's and became popular in the 1930's due to the increase demand for entertainment.
these dances would last hundreds of hours. they often had fold out beds on the side in case the people got too tired to function. large cash prizes were awarded to the couple that danced the longest.
