Casino Workshops This event is for salsa dancers or casino dancers who would like to learn/learn more casino and rueda de casino.
In the first hour We will review the fundamental movements, positions, leads and follows to be a good casinero/a both in and out of a rueda. From there we will work on common turn patterns and calls and see how far we can progress.
Second hour will be for those who already have the core moves (enchufla, vacila, di le que no, and vuelta) down and are looking to progress to more complicated patterns and group rueda calls.
For those unsure of what in the world Casino is: Casino is a Cuban dance (commonly referred to as Cuban salsa), danced to Timba music. It is danced to the same count as salsa on one but rather than being a slot dance, partners move around each other in a more circular manner. Casino can also be danced as a group where parters form a wheel (rueda de casino) in this formation, you will see one caller who calls out which moves the group will perform together in unison. Different calls will rotate everyone around the wheel, so it is a great way to dance with everyone in a short amount of time.
