New World Record (Largest number of Belly Dancers dancing)
NEWS: 18th April 2007 - New World Record (Largest number of Belly Dancers dancing together in one routine)
A brand new World record was recently set by belly dancers in Scotland, as they belly danced their way to the WORLD RECORD for the most belly dancers to dance as a group together in one dance routine. One hundred and thirty-four (134) belly dancers from different countries met in Nairn, Scotland, where they performed a 5 minutes dance which got them into the Guinness Book of World Records.
The World record was organised and planned by Ms Liz MacDonald aged 43, of Nairn. Liz is quoted as saying that "It was fantastic. We were all in our sparkly belly dancing costumes so it was really colourful.." and that "There wasn't a record for the largest number of belly dancers performing a routine, so we contacted the Guinness Book of Records and they accepted it as a challenge".
"I'm just delighted so many people attended and participated and helped us set a new record. It was a great achievement." After the performance, the belly dancers relaxed and took a rest whilst other dancers performed at a reception. In addition to setting a New World Record, the dancers also raised more than £1,000 for a local disabled people's sports charity.
