Anglia Salsa Rueda

Thank you very much to everyone who came to the class at Keir Hardie on Sunday 22nd February 2009. Warm thanks to everyone who came along again and a warm welcome to those who came along for the first time. We hope you all enjoyed the evening.

Some dates to note in your diary:

There will be no class on Sunday 29th March 2009 - we are going to the Cuban Salsa Festival in Bournemouth!
Cuban Salsa Festival Facebook Group.

We have been asked to do a Rueda demo at the Dance Cuban Fiesta on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2009!
Dance Cuban Facebook Group.

When dancing fairly basic moves, more advanced rueda dancers can challenge themselves and make it more interesting for themselves by adding in extra turns, for example 'con vuelta' when moving to a new partner, or 'con gracia' or 'me gusta' when doing 'dile que no', and/or by working on the Cuban styling of their dancing. Of course, you must always make sure that you stay in step, in time, in position, do not disrupt anyone else and are ready for whatever might be called!

The moves covered this week included:

adentro y afuera (to the inside and to the outside)
arriba (up)
abajo (down)
un tarro (an affair)
enchufe (plug/connect)

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