Salsa Rueda Performance Workshop

12 week Salsa Rueda Performance Workshop

Perform at The 10th annual Salsa Rueda Festival in SF

Taught by the Festival co-directors: Nick and Serena

Take your dancing to the next level! Expand your Rueda vocabulary and improve your technique while having a great time with friends. Performing is one of the best ways to push past any boundaries and reach the next level in your Casino and Rueda de Casino dancing. Performing at the Festival is an amazing experience and this year will be our tenth year. 

The workshop is open to any dancer who has learned their basics in Rueda de Casino. That means being confident in DQN, Dame, Enchufla, Adios (la prima), and most of our level 1 and 2 turns at https://www.salsavaletodo.com/curriculum/

Please be comfortable working in a group and be able to commit to at least 90% of the rehearsal dates.

We've grown from 3 nights, 2 days, 3 classes at a time, 2 live bands, and 1 Hotel to 4 nights of non-stop dance and partying, 3 days of dance Workshops, 6 classes each hour to choose from, 4 Live Bands and 2 Hotels to house all the excitement. Each and every year our international guests and performers grows!! We hope this event supports and contributes to the ongoing growth of the Cuban salsa community in the United States and throughout the World. Thank you for your ongoing support of this event, building your Cuban salsa dance communities in your home towns, and being part of the ever changing and growing landscape of the salsa rueda and casino world.
