Dance marathons (or marathon dances) are events in which people dance or walk to music for an extended period of time. They started as dance contests in the 1920s and developed into entertainment events during the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the present day, dance marathons are commonly used as fundraisers. These modern marathons are usually 12–24 hours, a far cry from the 1000 hours marathons of the 1930s.

  • Un marathon de danse est une compétition au cours de laquelle des couples s'affrontent, le but étant que les deux partenaires dansent en continu le plus longtemps possible. Ce type de compétition était très fréquent pendant la Grande Dépression qui a suivi la crise de 1929 aux États-Unis. Les candidats dansaient parfois durant plusieurs jours, espérant empocher une récompense s'élevant généralement à quelques centaines de dollars, avec l'assurance d'un repas chaud pour les perdants.

  • 跳舞馬拉松(英語:Dance Marathon)也稱為舞蹈馬拉松,是一種長時間連續跳舞的活動,興起於美國1920年代,而後於1930年代美國進入大蕭條後開始盛行。當時參賽者多生活窮困,靠著比對手跳得更久以贏得名聲和一筆獎金維持基本生計。現今,跳舞馬拉松已經轉型為慈善募款活動。 (zh)
