The game required the participants to dance when the music was played, and freeze and maintain their positions when it stopped. They could only resume their positions when the music resumed. Competitors who failed had to perform push-ups, jumping jacks, and other exercises in a penalty zone. To set the world record, the attendees had to play the game for at least 15 minutes.
The attendees ‘freeze danced’ on the school’s playground and put forward a $10 freewill donation, which will be sent to Orange County’s Ronald McDonald House.
The organizers stated that they recorded a total turnout of 417 participants. The former freeze dancing record was set in Arizona by Guardian Life Insurance, with 390.
Kyle Patrick, a seventh-grader, said to OCRegister.com:
“It was pretty hard, but it’s OK. It was really cool that we’ve got to break the record and you are going to see that in a record book. That’s cool.”
A sixth-grader Sophie O’Hara, who freeze danced with her grandmother, was proud that the 85-year-old managed to keep up with the pace of the dance.
Newly set world records make a fitting addition to school and company Letterheads, particularly if charitable donations were raised in the process.
