In potentially Australia’s biggest tribute to Tina Turner, who passed away on May 24, Australians are preparing to set a new world record for the most people dancing the Nutbush, a line dance based on the semi-autobiographical song of the American-born singer.

Music festival organisers are hoping to reach 5,000 dancers on July 6 this year, beating the current Nutbush World Record of 4,084 participants.
