Salsa Rueda Boot Camp


Salsa Rueda is a seriously fun spectacle and experience!
A Rueda can be as small as two couples, or as large as a space can hold. The couples dance in a circle executing moves called out by a leader. You will learn many easy, playful calls, such as "adios", "enchufla", or "dame". The leaders, usually the men, initiate the execution of the moves. The followers, usually the ladies, perform the moves as guided by the leaders. Salsa Rueda is like a game during which the couples continuously change partners, moving along the circle and dancing with everyone in the group. Rueda is danced to lively, up-beat salsa music, with dancers constantly moving along the circle to their next partner: Warning it is addictive!

Difficulty level
It is important that you have a solid Salsa Foundation.
Completion of Core Elements One or equivilent is recommended.

When?
Saturday 29th March
1:00pm to 4:00pm
(Two hours of instruction with one hour of practice)

How Much?
$50.00

Where?
Smooth Latin Groove Studio
1st Floor 474 Ipswich Road Annerley

Rueda simply means” wheel”. Salsa Rueda or ‘Rueda de Casino’ is a group dance originating in Cuba.
