Rueda DE Casino III
*TBD*
*Member Pricing*
Casino Rueda is a style of salsa dancing that originated in Havana, Cuba in the 1950's. Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller (or "líder" or "cantante" in Spanish). Many moves have hand signs to complement the calls; these are useful in noisy venues, where spoken calls might not be easily heard. Most moves involve the swapping of partners, where the partners move around the circle to the next partner. The combination of elaborate dance combinations and constant movement of partners create a visually spectacular effect.

Guapea Basic Steps

Dame dos
