William Kemp, a contemporary of Shakespeare, danced a Morris Jig from London to Norwich in 9 days, and then wrote a book about it. He was accompanied by his pipe & taborer.

This is the origin of the phrase 9 day wonder (or 9 daies as he spelled it).

This was actually 9 days of dance spread over the period of a month, and he was accompanied for much of the time by spectators and other dancers (including women).

He did seem to do it properly, because after accepting a ride into town to lodgings at the end of one day, he returned to resume at the place where he had previously stopped.
