Casino is often called "Cuban Salsa" outside of Cuba, though the dance form is very distinct from other forms of Salsa such as "In-line" New York (on2) or LA Style (on1) or "Miami", etc. In Cuba, Casino is a social dance "de la calle", and woven into the culture. The dancers who are practiced and capable are invited to join the local Casino de Rueda group, danced in a circle, changing partners and orientation based on called "figuras" or moves.
- Workshop classes are 2 hours each and build on the previous week's class.
- Some previous dance experience or musical training is suggested, as we'll be discussing and practicing with the measures of the music in 8-count, the song sections, and the instrument arrangements.
- Participants will receive more detailed information mid-August and are expected to practice 15-30 minutes/week between classes.
- Freewill Donations for space rental are appreciated, not required.
