Rueda De Casino, also called just ‘Rueda’, in it’s basic form means ‘Casino wheel’, where dance couples comes together to form a circle, with one main ‘caller’, who calls out the names of different Cuban Salsa figures made up of different sequences of fun dance moves, which are
danced by the couples in synchronisation. As the level of the dancers improve, so does the figures performed become more elaborate and complicated, and with a
constant change of partner calls, make the dance fun and exciting for the dancers, as well as spectators who
view the dance. These figures are used when dancing individually with a partner on the dancefloor.
