Beginner Casino Rueda

Rueda de casino is a salsa round-dance developed in Havana in the 1950s and early 1960s. Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller. Rueda is a dynamic social dance involving the frequent exchange of partners according to the commands of the caller. The caller also uses hand signals to signify a particular move. Done right, the results look like impressive choreography that has been improvised on the fly.

No experience necessary. No dance partner required. Drop-ins welcome, although it is recommended that you take every class in the series.
