Tap dancer sets new Guinness World Record™

View Tap dancer sets new Guinness World Record™ on DanceWeb

Tap dancer and choreographer Jo Scanlan has broken the world record to be crowned the world’s fastest tap dancer.

Jo of Swindon (England), smashed the existing record of 602 beats in a minute by 182 beats, during the “Boys V Girls” section of Sky 1's “Guinness World Records Smashed” on June 7 2009 setting a new and unprecedented Guinness World Record™ of 784.

To make the record attempt all that more difficult Jo was up against her student Joe Dodd from London, who is also a member of the England Tap Team, which Jo is head coach and co-artistic director of. "Joe Dodd is a phenomenally gifted young dancer, he is part of the England Tap Team which I coach, and was ranked 12th at the 2008 World Championships, so to be up against him made it all that more difficult to obtain the record “.

Jo has been tap dancing since she was 7, initially in the UK and then furthered her training after being awarded several scholarships to study in America. She has had opportunity to study privately and in residence with Dr Henry Le Tang, Dr Bunny Briggs, Barbara Duffy and Heather Cornell as well as taking master classes with Jason Samuels Smith, Arthur Duncan and Fayard Nicholas.

Jo now works as a performer, teacher and choreographer at some of the UK’s leading vocational establishments and runs tap company “Tap Attack” as well as training the “Tap Attack Youth Company”.
