Casino Rueda

Casino Rueda (means casino wheel, also called rueda de casino [Spanish]) is a fun style of salsa dancing in a circle, originated from Cuba. Similar to square dancing, partners rotate and perform memorized choreographed moves together as a group from particular prearranged moves, or calls. The leader, or caller, says the name of the move (and may use a certain hand signal as well) one measure (8 beats) prior to the move being executed.

Common names of casino rueda moves are Spanish words including:
