Friends and family are welcome to join you at the attempt, however, there will be limited seating in the gymnasium. We will send additional details via email for those that register. Due to the amount of setup that is required for this event, if we do not have more than 250 signed up by 1/1/2020 and greater than 306 (current record) signed up by 2/5/19, we will cancel the event.
- This record is for the greatest number of ballet dancers en pointe simultaneously.
- For the purpose of this record, en pointe is part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet within pointe shoes.
Rules for Most Ballet Dancers On Pointe Simultaneously
- All ballet dancers must remain en pointe for a minimum of one minute.
- Any dancer who fails to complete the one minute must be discounted from the final number of participants.
- The clock starts as soon as the heels of the dancers leave the floor.
- The participant should have experience dancing en pointe to participate! This can include those who currently dance, or who have previously danced!
- The participant must be able to stand on point for a full minute. Minimal movement is permitted to stay balanced. The participant will not be allowed to balance by touching another participant during the attempt.
- Participants must wear appropriate ballet attire and must wear pointe shoes. This can include a leotard, tights with or without a tutu, or a costume that was worn in a classical ballet performance. This is a Guinness World Records requirement and will give us the best visual for photos, video and the news coverage.
- You will be roughly given a 3'x3' area in which to participate, so practice before the event! There will be up to 50-participants in a designated 21'x 21' square area.
