Thats an essay in itself. Rueda means wheel or circle. Rueda de Casino is a style of dancing salsa in co-ordinated groups that supposedly originated in the Casino ballroom in Cuba. A caller shouts out a move or sequence of moves which dancers, arranged in a circle, execute. Occasionally dancers change their partners all at the same time. Its a bit like a cross between salsa and ceilidh. The style is loosely called Rueda, Casino-style salsa or Rueda de Casino. This is potentially a source of confusion for those new to our level two, since we have a rueda style of our own (based on the Cuban phrase hacer una rueda con el/ella). So, we distinguish the both by calling OUR level two style the Rueda, and the other one Casino.
