‘The Joy of Love Dance’ is open to couples. Winning couples will receive a cash prize of 200,000 Baht and have their names listed in the famous Guinness Book of World Records. The organisers are hoping that the event will see a new record set as for the world’s longest dance marathon.
The event will be a real physical challenge because to beat the record, couples will have to dance together continuously for more than 35 hours without changing partners. The current world record was set on 16 November, 2008, at Acapulco, Guerrero in Mexico where the winning couple, Francisco Petatán-Garcia and Joana Salinas-Aviles danced for 35 hours.
