- Summary:
-
"The marathon dance contest was organised by Coca Cola at a service station not far from where I was living at Grays Point. The event attracted only a score of teenage couples and aroused only minor interest among passers-by and friends and relatives of the dancers. From memory, the event started around midday on a Saturday and by around 1 a.m. on Sunday morning, the couple shown here in mid afternoon were the only ones still on their feet. Declared the winners, they each received a five pound note, watched by proud parents and a small knot of spectators. (A selection of the hundred or so images I made appeared in PEOPLE magazine 27.9.1961)." -- Description supplied by photographer.
