  • Kiwi taps his way into the record books (0:30)

A New Zealander has secured his place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the second time as the world's fastest tap dancer.

Tony Adams from Wellington hit the floor with a staggering 17.6 taps per second on the Good Morning show.

Guinness World Record judges requested additional slow motion footage before announcing his win.

His achievement is even more extraordinary as he was born disabled with his mother taking him to tap dancing classes at the age of three in an attempt to straighten his legs out.
