Underwater cha-cha record still stands nearly 20 years after unique dance class
Written by Shresta Dutt on February 19, 2025
The cha-cha is a timeless ballroom classic, and these people who danced it underwater set a world record that’s stood the test of time too.
The largest underwater dance class took place at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in Sydney, NSW, Australia, on 27 October 2006.
A group of 74 students, as seen in these amazing pictures, sunk down to the bottom of a swimming pool, armed with oxygen tanks and scuba gear, to dance for 13 minutes and 30 seconds.
Nobody has managed to break the record since.
