MIRRORS DANCE Established 2008
Trudi & Daniel became Guinness World Record holders. They danced for over 7.5 miles (12.1 km) to beat the standing record for 8.1 km to take the World Title in the farthest distance ever danced by a couple. We raised over £2,500 for CancerResearchUK through sponsorship from the 10 months of training leading up to the attempt.
