    About Cuban Salsa Dancing

    Casino, often called Cuban salsa, developed in Cuba from son and other popular partner dances. Partners change direction and move around one another, rather than staying in the linear slot common in LA-style salsa. Rueda de casino brings several couples into a circle, following patterns announced by a caller, sometimes changing partners. It is a collective way to dance casino—not a prerequisite for learning it. Lessons with Noe are private or semi-private.

    Cuban Salsa Lessons FAQ

    Are casino and Cuban salsa the same thing?

    Casino is the Cuban name for this partner dance. Outside Cuba it is commonly called Cuban salsa. Its changing directions and circular partner movement distinguish it from linear salsa styles.

    How is casino different from LA-style salsa?

    LA-style salsa usually uses a line or slot, while casino partners move around one another. They share musical roots, but the connection and organization of partner patterns feel different.

    What is rueda de casino?

    Rueda is a circle of couples following patterns announced by a caller, sometimes changing partners. Lessons with Noe are private or semi-private.

    Do I need a partner or previous experience?

    No. Come solo or as a couple. Noe can lead or follow while you practice rhythm, weight changes and connection from the beginning.

    What happens in my first lesson?

    You start with basic rhythm, weight changes, connection and simple circular movement. First turns are added as you feel comfortable, at Infinity Dance Sport Center in Kearny Mesa.
