The Santa Show


The   conga   line   is a   Cuban Carnival  march that was first developed in Cuba and 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. The conga, a term widely believed to be derived from the African region of Congo, is both a lyrical and danceable genre, rooted in the music of carnival troupes or comparsas.
To celebrate   United Kingdom’s first   real ice trail   at Warwick Castle   many Santas got together to skate in a conga line. The Santas were   none other than normal public who   had donned up in Christmas Suits to add some sparkle   as Christmas was round the corner. About 142 Santas   skated   in the Conga line adding more spice to the Christmas and New Year spirits. The castle forms a dramatic backdrop to the new 250m track through Peacock Garden, which is adorned with lights. There's also a Victorian steam fair with Noah's Ark ride and a carousel, carol singers and festive storytelling.
They broke the previous Guinness world record on their third attempt—an earlier one failed when an excited young Santa waved to the watching crowd and another when a skinny Santa’s trousers fell down. So this time they were able to set the record after a lot of perseverance.
 Inside the castle, opulent decorations include a 25ft Christmas tree decorated with 1,000 lights in the Great Hall and seasonal plants from mistletoe to poinsettia.
The Most Santas skating in a Conga Line was set by 142 Santas at Warwick Castle,United Kingdom on December 3,2009.
