Bontle Modiselle dances her way into the Guinness Book of Records

Bontle Modiselle is making dance history. The South African media personality and dancer is officially a Guinness World Record title holder. 

Bontle, local artist Alfa Kat, and World of Dance South Africa director Quintus Jansen earned a place in the history books for their contributions to a record-breaking amapiano dance.  

A total of 250 people danced their way into the record books after dancing in synchronisation to Alfa Kat's amapiano hit, 'Shaya Lento'.

The official record recognised the feat as the "largest synchronised amapiano dance".

The dance, which was featured on the latest season of 'Stumbo Record Breakers', was recorded at Soweto's Hector Peterson Memorial in August.

The 'Stumbo Record Breakers' episode featuring the dance aired a few days ago, which means Bontle, who choreographed the moves, could finally brag about the achievement.

The 32-year-old says it is an incredible moment for South African dance history, which she will "cherish forever". 

"We did it @quintusjansen! Thank you so much for trusting me with this. A true honour! Shoutout to my bro @alfakat__ on the fire production of the music. Thank you to @tllhogi_m & @kananelo_n_ who were my amazing support - I’m blessed and happy to share moments with you two. To every dancer who came and showed up, thank you for making it all possible. It would have been nothing without you," she wrote on Instagram.

Bontle, who reportedly started her dancing career in 2007, officially opened the doors to her very own dance studio earlier this year. 

"Guys! Your girl has officially opened her own damn dance studio! I am so proud of my career, everything I have achieved, and all of the incredible milestones I have had along the way – but this moment is a real highlight for me," she wrote on Instagram. 

The former 'Club 808' presenter added that she is proud of her career and everything she has achieved. 

"Creating a home for dance, and growing the community which has given me so much is honestly a dream come true. I’ve cried many tears and I’m still in disbelief, but it’s real." 

Stars such as Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland have been spotted at the studio. Kelly visited the venue earlier this year and said she had the most amazing dance lesson. 

"If you told me a month ago that I was going to be hosting & dancing with Kelly Rowland in my studio, I would have told you that was an absolute lie. But it happened. And it was amazing," Bontle said at the time.
