Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rueda de Casino?

Rueda de Casino is a form of Cuban-style salsa dancing.  Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller (or ‘Líder’ or ‘cantante’). Many moves have hand signs to complement the calls; these are useful in noisy venues, where spoken calls might not be easily heard. Many of the moves involve the swapping of partners.
