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/
