# Salsa Rueda de Casino. Rueda de Casino is the correct name in Spanish. “Casino Rueda” or “Salsa Rueda” are English versions of the correct name, due to the fact that the grammatical structure of English is a bit backwards from Spanish! Rueda is a synchronised cuban. Welcome to Ruedame, New York's premier rueda de casino and Cuban salsa group. Take a look around for photos, videos, and more! Ruedame was formed in 2012 by a group of casino dancers from New York's Rueda at the Park (RaP) who wanted to combine Cuban salsa with the informal, creative styling of street dancing.

Casino modules

We have grouped the videos on pages, and embedded the videos to make it easier to view the videos on that page. To see one specific video, you may also click on the link for the specific figure. (Remember to log in to your Vimeo account first.)

We are currently working on organizing the casino figures in modules, based on levels (example). This will make it easier for dance schools, instructors and student to use our videos for planning, repetition and practice.

The modules will be published in 2020.

Basic techique
