Wow! This year, Cuban Soul’s rueda team is getting ready for 3 exciting events which we will be attending! Learning and performing a choreography is a great way to improve your dancing skills in many areas, as well as build your confidence and have your moment to shine on stage!The rueda choreography will be taught by Stephen and Nikoletta, using a lot of techniques from our classes, plus a few more special choreographed moves, with styling and polish added for performance quality! We have extensive experience performing rueda for many years, have won Australian Rueda Championships and also competed in the Rueda World Championships in 2015! Cuban Soul has performed at Byron the past 2 years, and in Sydney last year as well.

Performers can choose to perform at any or all of the above events. For Sydney this year, a minimum of 4 couples (7 students + Stephen as team leader / caller) are required to compete in the Amateur division of the Rueda championship. Sunshine Coast and Byron would be performances only (no competition). We strongly recommend all performers also attend our weekly advanced rueda class at 7:30 Mondays, to learn many of the techniques used in our performance routine.
Performance training will run from 6th July until 21st September 2024. This will be a total of 12 x 1½ hr training sessions. Training fees: $360 for 18 hours performance training – must be paid up front before first training session. Any additional training sessions will be arranged as required, at an hourly rate to cover costs. Training times will be decided based on team's availability but most likely Saturday or Sunday afternoons.
If you are interested to join our team, please speak to Stephen or Nikoletta directly ASAP to confirm which performances you can commit to attending (Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Byron Bay) so that we can finalise our teams for each event.
