PHOTOS & VIDEO: Twerking World Record Set In New York City By 358 People.

Hundreds of people all got together on Wednesday in New York's Herald Square to set the Guinness World Record for the most people simultaneously twerking at the same time - and there was no Miley Cyrus in sight.

In total, 358 people gathered and managed to twerk for two minutes straight as the dance phenomenon caused people to bounce, gyrate and most importantly conform to the 'proper form'.

Organized by Big Freedia - the self proclaimed 'Queen of Bounce' the twerk-a-thon needed 250 people to break the record and even attracted people of all ages, including a 73-year-old actress who almost stole the show.

'It was a wonderful experience today,' she said. 'I went to buy sheets in Macy’s, and they let me in, and I’m just dancing my life away here. It was just great.
