Noted dancer Kalamandalam Hemalatha is all set to enter the Guinness Book of World Records with her Mohiniyattam performance lasting 108 hours.
The 35-year-old danseuse, who concluded her choreographic marathon on Saturday night, will soon be applying for the record for the longest dance show, the organisers of the show said.
The present record is that of eminent choreographer Dr Vattikotta Yadagiri Acharya of Hyderabad set in 2008. Hemalatha has over 20 years of experience as a dancer and trained in Kerala’s premier school for performing arts Kalamandalam. Though she had made an attempt in June last, she was forced to give it up due to ill health after 64 hours of dancing.
