UPI – A holiday parade in a Pennsylvania town in the United States ended with an exciting attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest Macarena dance.
The Newtown Business Association invited parade participants and spectators from McCaffrey’s Newtown Holiday Parade to join in on Sycamore Street.
After the parade, the crowd performed the signature dance moves from the 1996 Bayside Boys version of the popular song.
The current record for the largest Macarena dance stands at 2,219 people and was set at England’s Eggbuckland Community College in 2011.
“Based on our participant list and based on all the people we had here I think we came pretty close if not breaking it,” Dan Petty of the Newtown Business Association told Patch. “We think we entered the record books today.”
Evidence from the record attempt, including video recorded by drones, will now be submitted to Guinness World Records for review.
