At a free event in Clayton Square, Liverpool will attempt to get into the world record books. With the help of a Gangnam-style street-dance flash mob performance, the Liverpool-based Chinese dancer Fenfen Huang, wants to challenge for the record outside China, for the largest number of dancers on a flash mob dance routine. The Korean Gangnam dance-style has taken the world by storm 2 years ago and seen by more than 2 billion people since. China’s own version of this dance routine is currently sweeping across Asia.
The bid for the record will be on 7th March, Saturday, at the Chinese Lantern Festival event in the Clayton Squre, at Liverpool, starting from 12.30PM. Fenfen Huang is director of the China Pearl arts and culture company and has made a video to teach participants, who are being asked to come in by midday. The free event here will have besides the dance routine, a lion dance, tai chi, martial arts, dance and music. China Pearl has been holding free classes to teach the new dance routine. Fenfen is welcoming everyone else to join in the fun and watch possibly the creation of a new record and a legacy for Liverpool. The dance recording will be put on the web later.
