The event raised money for Cancer Research UK, The British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
Merrygold said: “Being involved in a world record is amazing. But even more amazing is seeing people travel from all over the country and unite on the dancefloor in aid of such important causes.
“We’re here today dancing for all those people. Together we can make a real difference and beat cancer, beat heart diseases and fight diabetes.”
The event was organised by Tesco Dance beats. The record-breaking feat is part of a weekend of dance events in thousands of Tesco stores across the country in support of Cancer Research UK, The British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
