Rueda de Casino is a delightful form of group dance in Cuban style salsa!

Two tips that make all the difference:

1. Pay attention to the “cantante”, the person calling the moves in the rueda. This way you will know what’s being called.

2. Do a small rock back step everywhere you’re supposed to rock back. This will allow you to move fast to your next partner.

Have fun and smile! Our next Casino Rueda is starting soon, so check the link in the bio.

Nervous about your first salsa class? Here’s exactly what happens:

• You don’t need a partner - we rotate!
• Wear comfy clothes and smooth-soled shoes (no need to buy dance shoes yet).
• The first 10 minutes of each class is a warm-up, plus the basic - everyone’s learning together.
• You will mess up, laugh, and leave smiling! That’s the whole point.

Come see for yourself ->>> Book your spot in a course - link in bio.
