When you see us out on the dance floor starting a rueda, you are welcome to join in, we'll try to call moves that you know, and don't forget, you can join in even if you don't have a partner to start with.

Even if you are not dancing in a rueda, you can practice many of the moves in your free dancing.

Any feedback, comments or suggestions are always welcome.

See you soon for more rueda fun!
