Rueda De Casino Classes commencing 2 June 2011

[Jeamie Lee]

Dear Jayers,

As mentioned, SalsaJay will be introducing an exclusive 4 class special on Rueda De Casino.  Classes will be held every Thursdays from  2nd June at 8.30 pm. The class will be taught by my very own Salsa instructor, Kuok Peng. This will be his final class in Malaysia as he will soon be moving to Japan for good. Here's a very special opportunity for you to learn from the teacher who has taught me how to dance salsa 8 years ago. Kuok Peng's style is very simplistic and practical on the dance floor.

So, what is Rueda De Casino?

Rueda de Casino (Rueda, Casino Rueda, Salsa Rueda) is a particular type of round dancing of Salsa. It was developed in Havana, Cuba in the late 1950s and early 1960s by the group Guaracheros de Regla and one of its main choreographers and creators was Jorge Alfaro from San Miguel del Padrón, a soloist of a comparsa.

Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller (or "líder" or "cantante" in Spanish). Many moves have hand signs to complement the calls; these are useful in noisy venues, where spoken calls might not be easily heard. Many moves involve the swapping of partners.
