rueda de casino

Rueda de Casino (Casino Rueda, Salsa Rueda) was developed in Havana, Cuba in the 1950s, as a particlular type of round dancing of Salsa. Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller. Many of the moves involve rapidly swapping partners. The names of the moves are mostly in Spanish, some in English (or Spanglish; e.g., "un fly"). Some name are known in slightly different versions, easily recognisable by Spanish-speaking dancers, but may be confusing to the rest. Casino Rueda scenes may be seen in the movie Dance with Me and in the music video clip No me dejes de querer by Gloria Estefan.
