While many classes focus only on learning individual rueda moves, here we go further. You will dive into how the rueda actually works: its formations, transitions, and collective flow. Weโll explore different structures such as ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ข, ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฐ, ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ด๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ค๐ฉ, and outside rueda, giving you the tools to understand, adapt, and play within the circle with confidence. ๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง โ the energy of moving as one, the spontaneity, the laughter, and the constant interaction between dancers. This course is designed to build that awareness, so youโre not just following calls, but truly dancing inside the rueda.

Rueda de Casino was born in Cuba in the late 1950s, during a time of vibrant social dancing in Havana. The dance emerged from the popular Cuban partner dance known as Casino, which itself developed from earlier styles like Son Cubano.
Groups of dancers began forming circles โ or โruedasโ (which means wheel in Spanish) โ where couples danced together while a leader, known as the caller, would announce moves. These calls coordinated the group, often involving partner switches, synchronised patterns, and playful interactions.
Originally, rueda was danced in social clubs and casinos (dance halls), hence the name Casino. Over time, it evolved into a highly social and energetic group dance that emphasises:
โก Communication and listening
โก Group awareness
โก Playfulness and improvisation
โก Community connection
Rueda became a cultural expression of Cuban identity โ joyful, inclusive, and interactive โ and has since spread all over the world, adapting to different styles while maintaining its core spirit of unity and fun.
