Please, note that we do not take students straight into Intermediate or Advanced classes if they haven't built their Beginners foundation under our teaching system. If a person has never learnt Cuban style before, they must start from the most important level we teach, which is Beginners, regardless of their dance experience. Alternatively, we can arrange private lessons to determine which class is the most suitable one for you, but either way, a detailed journey through our fundamentals will be a must.

Description of the course: the JUST RUEDA DE CASINO Entry Level is a purely and strictly Rueda de Casino course where you will exclusively learn super cool, mind-twisting Rueda figures and combinations. In this course, we strike a stark contrast from partner dancing. The moves you will learn here are primarily for having fun in a Rueda de Casino format. They will focus on creative, fun participation, plus the ultra dynamic component of Casino role switching. For further clarification: people interested in Casino partner dancing should sign up for a regular course, where as usual, there will be Rueda de Casino learning. What makes the Just Rueda course different is the heightened choreographic emphasis on complex Rueda de Casino figures that are not translatable to a partner dancing setting. Prerequisite: must be familiar with essential moves of Cuban Casino and Rueda de Casino such as Enchufla, Enchufla Doble, Sombrero, Setenta, Outside Turns, etc. Please, note that there will be no class on Thanksgiving Monday.
