Guinness World Record: Biggest ballet class in the world

Guinness World Record: Largest ballet classA friend of ours took up her position in breaking the record for the largest ballet class in the world this morning.

The record was first set in Cape Town in 2003, where I believe 550 dancers participated in a class. In 2006 this record was broken by 551 dancers attending a class in Pretoria (near Johannesburg, South Africa).

The Cape Town organisers expected between 600 and 700 dancers to arrive today; so when 983 excited dancers arrived at the Canal Walk shopping centre they were caught just a little off guard!

Well done Cape Town, and better luck next year Pretoria! ;-)
