Before the Rebbe accepted the nesius, he would dance on the night of Simchas Torah from 10 p.m until 7 a.m. No one else could dance for so long even if they took a break, yet the Rebbe danced the entire time non-stop. One particular year, someone from the household of the Rebbe Rayatz came downstairs to say that the dancing was creating a lot of noise. This message was passed on to the Rebbe, who immediately took off his shoes. The Rebbe continued to dance all night while singing, 'sha, sha, sha,? to the niggunim. On another Simchas Torah, the Rebbe danced all night, along with another three or for Chassidim. They sang the niggun, ?Ay, ay, ay ? mareh Kohen,? and each of the other people would take a break between the dances. However, the Rebbe danced on non-stop, throughout the night.
