#15: I Could’ve Danced All Night
If you think dancing for an hour is impressive, wait to 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 nonstop dancing! To put it in perspective, that’s longer than most people’s summer vacations.
But Ritof and Boudreaux were no strangers to the dance floor—they were professional dancers who used their skills and stamina to outlast their competition. So the next time you’re dancing your night away at a wedding and your feet start to ache, remember—there was a couple who could dance circles around all of us.
