19:40 Rueda Intermed |Follower
 
Rueda de Casino was born in the dance halls of 1950s Havana, and it's still one of the most fun ways to dance Cuban Salsa!
Couples dance together in a circle, a caller shouts the moves, and partners swap all the way round, so you end up dancing with the whole room.
This class is for our Intermediate and Advanced dancers. If you're confident with everything from Fundamentals to Intermediate, then join the game!
We'll learn the classic calls together and work on dancing them with timing, personality & lots of Tumbao.

About Event

​Cuban Salsa changed our lives and we're on a mission to get the whole city dancing so it can change yours too!

So come down every Tuesday to Casa Tumbao at UNDR in Ladbroke Gove. We're not a dance school, but a Community. A Neighbourhood Spot. A place to learn the foundations, technicalities and skills of Cuban Salsa... but only so you can break them! So you can experiment with them, get them wrong, try again and then get them right, play around and connect with a Community of people you want to see on & off the dance floor.

​Our space is all about Tumbao; which means adding that extra flair, personality, and attitude to your dance, with respect to the Cuban culture we're being welcomed into. That's the first and most important lesson you'll learn with us.

​Whether you're a first timer or seasoned dancer, we have a class for you. No partner or previous experience needed. After the class, stay for our free social, open to all. Practise your moves, play some Cuban percussion, grab a board game, a patty, some drinks & more.

​Ahí na' ma. There's nothing left to say, so see you on the dancefloor?

UNDR House Of Flavaz
