EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures a lively moment in time as the residents of Kingsleigh Boarding House in Margate, England, do the Conga dance in July 1913. The Conga, a popular dance originating from Cuba, had been making its way across Europe and had reached the shores of England, becoming a sensation among social circles. The residents, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen joyfully participating in the dance, holding hands and moving in a synchronized manner, creating a lively and energetic scene. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and community among the residents, as they come together to enjoy this new dance craze. Margate, a popular seaside resort town, was known for its lively social scene, and the Kingsleigh Boarding House was no exception. The boarding house, which provided accommodation for visitors, was a hub of activity, with various social events and gatherings taking place regularly. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the residents of the Kingsleigh Boarding House and the social activities that they engaged in over a century ago. The Conga dance, which had brought people together across the world, had also managed to bring joy and laughter to the residents of this boarding house in Margate in July 1913.
