Some 65,000 people participate in a poco-poco dance between the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle and the National Monument (Monas) on Monday morning. The massive dance, initiated by First Lady Iriana Jokowi, was held to break a Guinness World Record.

Two dance events attended by tens of thousands of participants were held in Jakarta and other cities. Apart from promoting the upcoming 2018 Asian Games and celebrate Independence Day, the events also aimed to break a Guinness World Record.

It was just 6 a.m. on Sunday (5/8/2018), but the National Monument (Monas) square had turned into a sea of people. Among the huge crowd was Henri Jonathan, 17, a 12th-grader at SMAN 106 Jakarta state high school. Along with thousands of people wearing colorful ethnic costumes, Henri wished to be part of the Largest Poco-Poco Dance Guinness World Records (GWR) event, an attempt to set a world record with the largest number of participants doing the poco-poco dance.
