is a television programme presented as a single episode. It is listed under the generic heading “programme” and falls within the episode‑type genre, meaning the story is contained within one self‑contained instalment. The central storyline follows a young man called John‑Boy who deliberately goes against his mother’s instructions. Despite her wishes, he signs up for a dance marathon that runs for an entire week. While taking part, he teams up with a pretty girl who has travelled from a neighbouring town to compete alongside him. The episode’s focus rests on John‑Boy’s act of rebellion and the resulting partnership that develops over the course of the marathon. His mother’s disapproval provides the initial conflict, while the presence of the attractive visitor from the nearby community adds a personal element to the competition. The week‑long nature of the event creates a backdrop against which the characters’ choices are highlighted. By the conclusion of the programme, the narrative has centred on the consequences of John‑Boy’s decision to ignore his mother and enter the marathon, and on the brief but notable connection he forms with the girl from the adjoining town during the intense, seven‑day dance contest.
