Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A province in the Philippines captured a Guinness World Record when 7,127 people crowded a street to perform a traditional folk dance.

The dancers donned traditional costumes and filled a 3-mile stretch of road Thursday in Sorsogon province to perform a 30-minute Pantomina sa Tinampo folk dance.

A Guinness adjudicator was on hand to verify the 7,125 people captured the record for largest number of participants in a Filipino folk dance.
