A 16-year-old girl called Srushti Sudhir Jagtap accomplished a spectacular achievement last week when she danced her way into the Guinness World Records in India. At a staggering 127 hours, Srushti achieved the longest dance marathon by one person with an amazing demonstration of enthusiasm and endurance.
Previously hosted by the 126-hour-dancing Nepalese dancer Bandana Nepal in 2018, this new record-breaking performance enthralled spectators in the college auditorium as Srushti displayed her skills. The arena was crowded the whole time she was running, showing off her expertise and commitment.
Srushti’s parents supported her during her five-day dance, making sure she kept hydrated by sprinkling water on her face, even though there were times when she felt exhausted. The official assessor from Guinness World Records, Swapnil Dangarikar, praised her unrelenting determination and called her performance excellent.
On May 29, Srushti set off on her dancing marathon, which she stopped in the afternoon of June 3. After her incredible accomplishment, she permitted herself to take a well-earned day off.
Srushti’s decision to perform Kathak, an Indian traditional dance style renowned for its deft footwork and expressive moves, adds even more significance to her record-breaking performance. Her goal in using dance to represent her nation was to raise awareness of Indian culture and history.
Srushti trained intensely for 15 months in preparation for this amazing achievement, including her practice of Yoga Nidra—a guided meditation method given to her by her grandfather—into her training. By triggering delta brainwaves, this method helped her body regenerate and achieve deep sleep. Her daily schedule included:
- Three hours of exercise.
- Six hours of dancing.
- Four hours of meditation.
- Five hours of sleep per night.
Srushti had previously completed two 126-hour dance marathons at home without the use of stimulants before her formal effort. She drank chocolate milk and coconut water to stay energized. But the last day of her world record-shattering dance was especially difficult. Srushti acknowledged that even though her body hurt and felt paralyzed, her willpower and mental concentration carried her through to the very finish.
Participants in these marathons are allowed five-minute rest intervals for each hour of running, as per the regulations. Srushti purposefully scheduled most of her breaks at midnight, using that time to talk to her parents or take little naps to recharge her mind. She conveyed her sincere appreciation to her parents for their steadfast support throughout her trip.
Speaking with pride, Srushti said, “I feel proud that I could give this great achievement to our country.” Her commitment, tenacity, and passion for dancing have had a lasting impression on the performing arts community, encouraging others to strive for greatness and push their limits.
