A Row of Ramblers: Three dancers bring the Harlem Conga to life in this vibrant 1941 scene, blending the lindy hop, conga, and even a hint of the Australian kangaroo hop, at a bustling dance hall in Harlem, New York. Elsewhere, youngsters from Roxburgh Day Nursery in Clifton, Bristol, form a Conga-esque line, holding hands and spreading joy. In Margate, a group of playful individuals enjoy a Conga-inspired moment with a giant ball, while a similar line of nurses bring a touch of fun outside a single-story building. Toddlers, too, join in the fun, forming their own Conga line on the beach.
