Age UK are celebrating ‘Loving Later Life’ at Saltburn with the World-Record Breaking Attempt at the ‘World’s Largest Waltz’ Their aim is to break the current World Record set in 2007 and held by Bosnia (with 1510 couples waltzing) by bringing together 2017 COUPLES to participate in the Teesside Waltz on Saltburn Pier and Promenade on 19 May 2017.
Whatever your age or ability, come along and dance to the original composition ‘Teesside Waltz’. All participants need to dance the same steps so they will soon upload to ‘youtube’ the step sequence (no freestyling allowed) everyone must do the same routine. Entry fee includes ‘World Record Breaker Medal’ and a World Record Breaker Rain Mac – for if the Heaven’s open ‘we’re dancing in the rain’…….!
Outside of the main record breaker attempt there are a host of activities to fill your day, in the main event marquee in Valley Gardens in Saltburn. Taster sessions in zumba, belly dancing, jiving. Try your hand with a range of arts and crafts, pop in to Saltburn Community Theatre for Afternoon Tea, or sample a bit of Tea Dancing . The town will be buzzing with things to see and do, meet up with a host of groups and clubs that will be celebrating living life to the full.
We have Saltburn Farmers Market in the main square, beautiful walks and scenic views – however the main challenge will be to waltz continually in a sequence format the same steps for over 5 minutes – are you up for the challenge?
