Conga Line
The conga is a Latin American carnival march that became popular in the United States in the 1930s and 1950s. The dancers form a long, processing line. It has three shuffle steps on the beat, followed by a kick that is slightly ahead of the fourth beat.
Some say was originated by African slaves doing the dance while chained together, and has important associations with Afro-Cuban Santería religion. Others say that Conga was not slave-chain dance, but the dancing and chanting during Easter when the “Congos” (name after the African country named Congo) or Congoleans during the festivities, followed the processions of the Virgin Mary that usually originated in different towns to a church.
