Description

1. 1 videocassette (20 min.) : sd., col. NTSC; 1/2 in. (VHS)

Summary

1. Demonstration of steps and movements performed in the casino rueda (also called the casino rueda salsa or simply the rueda), a group form of salsa dancing that originated in Cuba in the 1950s. The steps are demonstrated by members of Salsa Linea, a dance group that specializes in performing and teaching this dance form. This recording is a video glossary rather than an instructional tape, since the steps and movements are performed at dancing tempo, without detailed analysis or breakdown to counts. The first 16 min. are demonstrated by a single couple, who are joined by a second couple in the final section of the tape, which includes some advanced-level steps.
