What is 'Rueda de Casino'?   "Rueda" means "Wheel" and refers to a Cuban style of salsa danced in groups of 4-20+ people in a continuous wheel of dynamic motion with exciting synchronized & coordinated moves, clapping, stylish rhythmic punctuations, vocalizations, seamless changing of partners, changing formations and an exhilirating flow as the circle takes on a life of it's own. .

WARNING: This is NOT ballroom salsa. It is funkier, more earthy, more "street", retains it's African roots, engages torso and shoulders more, has a completely different directional and more oppositional dynamic, and is flavored by historical dances of Cuba. It is rooted in the compelling rhythms & sounds of "TIMBA" music  which shares parentage with salsa music, but is not salsa music perse. Timba is a very elegant & innovative fusion of polyrhythmic call-and-response Afrocuban sounds with hip hop and rock & roll influences rolled into it.Come get swept away by the pulse of this contagious form and open up a new world of styling, choreography & connection with the rhythm, the music and your fellow dancers. By the way, everything you learn in the wheel/circle format, is transferable to partner dancing, and everything you learn about cuban style, is applicable to other types of salsa. It all can and will be used in your favor out there on the dance floor!
