Brief Description of the Conga Dance
The Conga is a Latin dance of African-Cuban
descent. The name conga is believed to have
originated from the African region of Congo,
although Latin music historian Isabelle Leymarie
claims that conga may have come from a Bantu word
that means both song and tumult. This Conga Line
dance got very famous in the Western population
only because it is very easy to learn. It seems
more like a march but differs based on the Conga
music.

Significance of the Conga
Although the Conga line dance seems very easy and
fun to do, it is a part of the Congo slaves
religion and has a ceremonial and ritualistic
origin. The main reason why this dance is very
significant is that it is very easy for even
foreign audiences to learn its basic steps. This
thing makes it extremely properly all around the
world. Further, the dance was more like a way for
the slaves to celebrate their victory and
success. People also performed this dance to
express their frustrations and grievances without
making other mistakes.
