On 30 August 1930 Mike Ritof and Edith Boudreaux started dancing at the Merry Garden Ballroom, Chicago, Illinois.

They did not stop until 01 April 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 one cannot be sure of the exact rules of this one, but one can be certain they were given breaks. It is also clear that this record may never be broken!
