The Big Dance Carnival

Harris HospisCare's offical Guinness World Record Attempt for the largest Zumba dance class.

The event, in partnership with MyTime Active, forms part of the national Big Dance campaign to encourage people to get active and try out all forms of dance. The finale of the event is a Guinness World Record attempt for the Largest Zumba Dance Class.

The day starts with the Brazilian carnival parade, and free taster workshops from the Paraiso School of Samba, Capoeira Ceara, Freez with B Supreme, Line dancing with Primetime, Flamenco with Viva Flamenco, Bollywood with Angel Dancers and the Magpie Dance Company.

The Zumba dance class world record attempt will be a fundraising event in aid of Harris HospisCare. Participants will pay an entry fee to take part at a cost of £10 per individual and £25 for a family of four. They may also wish to raise sponsorship for taking part but this will not be compulsory. The easiest way to do this is by creating an online sponsorship page with Virgin Money Giving.

The event takes place in the beautiful setting of The Concert Bowl at Crystal Palace Park and there will be refreshments on sale so you can really make it a fun day out for the whole family.
