Salsa Rueda De Casino Moves

Curriculum of Moves of Salsa Rueda de Casino style We tried to align the moves logistically based on type. That is why you will notice some empty cells because some type of moves are represented in a Beginners 2 class but not in an Intermediate class. For example we aligned all Setenta moves horizontally in the same row of each level. Rueda de Casino Salsa moves in this list are: Abanico, Abanico complicado, Abrazala, Adios prima, Adios y la hermana, Adios con la famalia, Los americanas, Amistad complicate, Atrevido, Avioneta. RUEDA DE CASINO. Will go through the basics of Rueda and so soon escalate to our super rueda moves but yet simplified to you blend & enjoy any rueda you lead or be lead in a club. Casino Rueda (meaning salsa wheel) is a group dance which originated in Havana, Cuba in the 1960s by a group called Guaracheros de Regla. In this dance, couples dance in a circle while one dancer, designated as “The Caller”, provides hand signals or calls out the moves which will be executed by every couple in the circle simultaneously.

Salsa Rueda De Casino Moves

All Cuban Salsa Moves

This is a project in the making. The ambition is, as the title says, to cover “all” Cuban Salsa moves, that is all common moves. It is impossible to cover everything, because we have endless of variations and anyone can make up a new move or modify an old.

I try to include a move when I have found at least three independent sources, most often just videos uploaded to YouTube. I sometimes accept moves, I have only found once, if I really like it. I try to focus on real moves used in social dancing and in Rueda de Casino. I try to avoid artificial moves just made up.

Also I know of moves from DVD based Salsa courses and Apps that have not found there way to YouTube yet. If they are good, I make room for them and hope they will show up on YouTube one day, or I might make someone record them.

Salsa Rueda De Casino Moves Tunica

For most of my tutorials I try to find the three best videos around, from an educational point of view, and I try to include as many different dance schools and countries as possible. Cuban Salsa is the most social of social dances: All colors, all sizes, all ages, all nationalities, all levels. I want to reflect that. I am happy to include videos of amateurs and beginners if useful in a tutorial, even if flawed.

Also it is my intention, to replace many of the videos, when I happen to stumble upon better ones.
