Limbo Record Holder, Shemika Charles, Visits Consul General

Consul General , Mrs Rudrawatee Nan Ramgoolam , received a courtesy call from Miss Shemika Charles, an 18 year old Trinidadian who is the female record holder for the lowest limbo in the Guinness book of records. Shemika is the 2012 Guinness book record holder for the lowest limbo dance at 8.5 inches. This is the first time the Guinness Book has included female limbo dance as a category.

Shemika, originally from Trinidad and Tobago, comes from a family of performers and began learning limbo at a young age under the tutelage of Robert Diaz. Having performed at various venues throughout New York, Shemika received encouragement to attempt a world record. She is the first female artiste to set a record for limbo dancing. It is entirely fitting since Trinidad and Tobago is the Land of Limbo! Shemika takes pride in her Trinidadian and Tobagonian heritage and designed a red, black and white costume to wear for performances. Read more >>
