Nachdi Jawani and Punjabi Virsa Arts & Culture Academy have officially set a new Guinness World Record with a total of 1095 dancers, ranging from the ages of 4-75, all performing the same 8 minute routine at the same time. We would like to thank all those who participated in the event, as every dancer who had taken place in the performance has helped take bhangra to the next level.

A little more detail, of of Nachdi Jawani's website....

" Nachdi Jawani Festival day
The streets will come alive, once again, with the beat of the dhol, and the stomping of feet as Punjabi V.A.C.A presents its first annual Nachdi Jawani Festival Day. The festival, organized by the Punjabi V.A.C.A Society, encourages cultural exploration and community participation through a diverse series of events highlighting the Northern Indian art form of Bhangra. Nachdi Jawani Festival is a major free festival, celebrating Asian arts, culture and creativity. The Nachdi Jawani Festival is a one-day festival aimed at celebrating south Asian culture and creativity, both from Canada and the rest of the world. This year?s highlights include performances of local and international artists displaying the colorful mosaic that exists within Canada. A long-standing tradition in South Asia, the festival strengthens communities by bringing people together in a festival atmosphere where everyone can enjoy food, music and dance. The event, on August 31 2008, will feature contemporary and classical music and dance, street theatre, comedy, visual arts and spoken word, from some of the world?s biggest names. The community will also unite as one to set a Guinness World Record of having over 1000 participants doing bhangra at the same time for a maximum of 10 minutes. This event will take place at the Powerade Sports Center (Steeles and Kennedy) "

So Guinness World Record ACTUALLY took this in as a record? It's really impressive, but this must have taken up so much space! 1095 dancers? That's bigger than my school's freshmen class!
