A common misunderstanding about Casino (on of many Cuban dance forms) is that it is only done as a group (i.e., Rueda de Casino).

In reality, many of the calls you learn in the Rueda can be led and followed in a partner setting, and you'll find yourself partner dancing 95% of the time at places where Casino-style dance is held. Obviously, the concepts you learn in this class will help you if you end up taking Rueda classes, as well!

You'll learn:
How to communicate with your partner as a lead and follow
The necessary footwork you need to know for all the foundation Casino turn patterns
The differences between Timba music and salsa music
Body isolation - adding "funk" to your Casino dance

No partner necessary.

It's preferred you sign up and start from the beginning of the month.
This class is done in a monthly cycle. No drop-ins after the first week without the instructor's green light.
