1,000 Ballerina’s Descend On Central Park… TODAY!
Did you know that there is a Guinness World Record for the most ballerinas standing on pointe at the same time? Well there is. And today at 6:30pm, NYC-based dancers will aim to break the record, which is currently 220 dancers.
One thousand professional dancers will all stand en pointe for one minute, at the same time. Joined by famed character (and my childhood idol) Angelina Ballerina, ballet dancers 13+ are invited to be part of this record-breaking event called “Break the Ballet Record”. This will support the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club peforming arts program, a partner of the newly launched Angelina Ballerina Stars of Tomorrow campaign that promotes the joys and benefits of dance for children around the world.
I haven’t put on my pointe shoes for 2 years, but maybe I should give them a twirl tonight!
