If you think dancing for an hour straight is impressive, just wait until you hear about the couple who won an Atlantic City dance marathon in the 1930s. That’s right, folks – Mike Ritof and Edith Boudreaux danced for a whopping 1,473 hours to take home the grand prize. That’s over 61 days of non-stop dancing! To put it in perspective, that’s longer than most people’s summer vacations.
