VARANASI, April 18: A local dance performer has entered the Limca Book of Records by performing Kathak continuously for 24 hours on the roller-skates. The 25-year-old Soni Chaurasia started dancing at 6.30 pm on Wednesday at Arya Mahila Degree College and ended on Thursday evening. “She did it, If someone else does not break her record by May 31, 2010, her name will be registered in the Limca Book,” Smitha Joseph, Assistant Editor of Limca Book told PTI.
