Folk dance record set in Budapest
This impressive gathering not only set a new record for the highest number of people dancing the same choreography at the same time in one location but also broke the Hungarian record for the largest Csángó circle dance, 444.hu reports.
Nearly 1,500 participants joined in the traditional dance.
The event was organised by the National Student and Leisure Sports Federation (Nemzeti Diák-hallgatói és a Szabadidősport Szövetség) and the Hungarian Dance Academy (Magyar Táncművészeti Egyetem) as part of European Sports Week, which promotes physical activity.
The sports week runs until Sunday and is being held simultaneously in several European capitals.
