What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
Rueda de Casino, also known as Cuban Salsa, is a social dance formation that was born in Cuba in the 1950’s. Each dancer is paired with a leader or follower and positioned to make a circle. The Rueda is called by ‘the Cantante’ (the caller) who will call the steps that the dancers have to make, swapping partners many times as they move around and keep the shape of the circle. |
