The World Robotic Dancing Record for the highest number of people Robotic Dancing at once has taken place at Stamford Bridge today, 17th May, as part of the build up to ESFA The Danone Nations Cup Final and a total of 429 people took part.
Children from nine different schools across London and the surrounding areas came along to watch the ESFA The Danone Nations Cup Final between Whitgift Independent School and St. Cuthbert’s, which was won by Whitgift School. The Move Like a Champ World Record was designed to get kids active and interested in healthy eating. Getting them involved with the Robotic Dancing World Record attempt showed how much fun you can have and what you can achieve through sporting activities.
The Guinness World Records team came along to judge the event, which was in honour of the newly appointed ESFA Danone Nations Cup Ambassador, Peter Crouch’s now famous Robotic Dance goal celebration. As part of the World Record attempt there was also a lesson from former England, Liverpool and Tottenham, Professional Footballer John Scales on nutrition and how to eat properly to support a healthy lifestyle.
Kayzar Dance School choreographed the routine keeping it simple but impressive to watch. They took time to film the routine and post it on YouTube as well as visiting participating schools to teach them the routine in advance. On the big day, they lead the Robotic dance session and put on an impressive performance to celebrate the achievement on hearing the news that a new world record had been set.
Nader Boulila from the Kayzar Dance School said: “It was an honour to be asked to take part in such an event. Getting kids active and healthy has to be a priority these days. Dance, football, running, swimming - whatever you fancy they are all great ways to get moving and if it is your chosen sport there is no reason why you can’t get to the top of it. The Danone Nations Cup Final proves that, with the winning School today taking off to South Africa to represent England. These kids need to see the benefits of exercise and where it can take them – the only way is up!”
Peter Crouch, ESFA Danone Nations Cup Ambassador, said: “Seeing all the kids taking part in the World Record attempt in my honour really was something special. It has been a very enjoyable day with a strong message to the children. Danone wants to promote healthy eating and lifestyle habits amongst young people today and this event has been ideal for doing just that. They got to take part, got to watch an entertaining football match and also had a talk with John Scales about nutrition – all in all a very full and fruitful day.”
