About Salsa Rueda
Come join us for a fun evening with friends. Salsa Rueda is a particular type of round dancing of Salsa. It was developed in Havana, Cuba in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Pairs of dancers form a circle, with dance moves called out by one person, a caller. Many of the moves involve the swapping of partners.
Below is a video example of what Salsa Rueda looks like, as performed by Groupo America in VanCouver, Canada
