They didn’t break a record but they had a lot of fun …
Kingaroy Dance Krew’s attempt to break the Guinness World Record for disco dancing fell a long way short on Monday but the organisers haven’t given up hope of making it happen.
The Krew is made up of Kingaroy High School students who are members of an after-school dance club.
The current disco dance record is 314 dancers under the age of 18.
Unfortunately, only 62 dancers registered for the record bid which was held in Memorial Park, Kingaroy, on a pupil-free day for local schools.
However, parent Kay Swansson – one of the key organisers – said the registration with the Guinness World record organisation lasted six months so they still had plenty of time to try again.
“We will have another go at it in a couple of months, maybe on a school day,” she said.
The disco record attempt turned into a fun family day in the park for participants, with jumping castles, a Lions Club sausage sizzle and free face-painting.
Money raised on the day will help provide new costumes for the Kingaroy Dance Krew.
