Limbo (dance) from Wikipedia.

Shemika Charles, the Limbo Queen. How Low Can You Go? from Ripley's Believe It or Not Weird News, Nov. 10, 2016. "In 2015, Limbo Queen Shemika Charles, of Buffalo, New York, became the first person in the world to limbo under a car - clearance of about 9 inches! Coached by her mother, Sherrie, who was a limbo dancer for 16 years, Shemika trains for about six hours a day! This is no easy feat, as limbo dancing is very physically demanding. Watch as Shemika shows off her unbelievable talents!" Videos included.

Reaching New Lows: Record Breaker Limbos Under Car. YouTube video, 4:28 min. Published on Jun 15, 2015 by Barcroft TV. "Shemika Charles amazed herself and onlookers when she bent over backwards to get underneath the SUV earlier this week. The supple 22-year-old entered the record books in 2010 when she limboed down to an incredible eight and a half inches - the height of a beer bottle. She trains for up to six hours a day to keep her body in peak condition and now travels around America performing with her family. However, regular performances put an incredible strain on her body and she sees a chiropractor once a week to have her hips realigned. Her mother was also a successful limbo dancer in her home country of Trinidad and Tobago but had to give up due to injury."
