I have so many pictures of Jess Mariano saved on my phone it's embarrassing. Also, I think he looked the most beautiful in this dance marathon episode, especially when Dean starts to yell at Rory, and Jess looks up all alert and hopeful 😍

Competitors in a dance marathon at Madison Square Garden, June 11, 1928. Victor Tomie carries his partner, Della Keenes's shoes while she dances shoeless.

The formal idea of a dance marathon emerged in the early 1920s, after a New York dance instructor named Alma Cummings decided to see if she could achieve the world record for longest continuous dance. According to a report in the News-Journal of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Cummings started just before seven o’clock in the evening on March 31, 1923, and danced the waltz, foxtrot, and one-step for twenty-seven hours straight, fueled by snacks of fruit, nuts, and near-beer, and exhausting six male partners in the process. Her achievement inspired copycats and competitors, and before long, promoters started offering group dance marathons that hybridized sports, social dancing, vaudeville, and nightlife as a form of rivalry and entertainment.
