Dance Marathon
Colleges today use dance marathons to raise money for charity, but back in the day, they were way more common. During the '20s and '30s, teens and young adults would dance for days on end in an effort to win a prize. Unlike today's marathons, these ones had specific dances and moves built into the long event.
Cemetary Parties
If you have lost a loved one, you probably miss being with them at events and gatherings. Well, in Victorian-era London, this problem was easily solvable. People would pack picnics and treats to eat beside the gravesite of the deceased. It was meant as a way to remember the dead, but it looks fairly creepy to modern standards.
