It would be a tragedy to miss this – joining British pop sensations Steps for a dance-a-thon at Sainsbury’s.

The half term treat will see the fivesome attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people dancing to 90’s hit Tragedy.

The attempt is being hosted at Sainsbury’s on Stadium Way, Crayford at 3.30pm on Wednesday, October 31.

Band member Claire Richards, who will be joined by H, Lee, Lisa and Faye for the record attempt, said: "Thousands of fans have already danced their socks off to Tragedy in support of our world record attempt, and this dance-a-thon finale is our chance to step into the record books – but we need wiling participants to come out in force."

World record advisor, Thomasina Gibson, who will be at the event, said: "This is a fantastic and fun opportunity for people of all ages to perform one of the world’s most popular pop classics and share a unique moment in time.

"Although this is a brand new record attempt, Steps have set the bar high as they wanted as many fans as possible to be a part of record breaking history.

"I’m confident this final Tragedy show down will have them stepping up to the mark."

For those whose dancing skills are better best forgotten, Gareth Walker, Steps’ director and choreographer, will be teaching the infections moves.

Steps themselves will be dancing to the hit live on stage inside the supermarket.

To take part, people should email stepsrecord@consolidatedpr.com.

Full details will be sent to anyone who registers.

The first 50 people who sign up and attend will receive a Steps goodie bag, and one participant on the day will bag a trolley full of groceries.

Steps will also be meeting fans and signing copies of their new DVD, Steps: The Ultimate Tour Live, in store after the record attempt has taken place.
