What is Rueda?
Rueda de Casino started in Cuba in the mid 20th century and it is the roots of what you can see danced in Miami, and around the world today. Rueda(as it is commonly called in Cuba) is a form of Casino danced in a round with 2 or more couples exchanging partners when one person calls out the turn names ("Rueda" is Spanish for “Wheel”, and “Casino” is known outside of Cuba as “Salsa”).
