On Sat, Aug 10th and Sun, Aug 11th, Or Gadish, Amanda Rodrigue, and Alejandro Castro, will be teaching two special, intensive 2.5h workshops on Cuban Casino partner dancing (sometimes called Cuban Salsa). Most people might know of Cuban salsa from Rueda, with a choreographed set of moves and a “caller”. Casino—which is what will be taught here—is the partner dancing that forms the basis of Rueda, but has many concepts and techniques that are distinct from Rueda. Cuban Casino is actually an ancestor of American Salsa (often referred to as LA/NY or On1/On2 Salsa).
Day 2: Intermediate+ (Sunday, Aug 11, 1:30-4pm @ Studio #2)
Sunday’s workshop is designed for:
Anyone comfortable with Casino basics
Anyone who completes Day 1
