Introduction

I've been dancing rueda/casino for about 7-8 years. And can you believe there are still more moves to learn? It's a long process but one I love. Salsa dancing is my way to stay sane with the crazy life I have!!

Do you know how to call Rueda moves while dancing in the circle?

Sure I can. Do I? No. You men never let us women do that! Shame on you! I also suck at this....

When you just gotta Rueda, where do you go?

Cecilia's on Friday nights. Or wherever else SAOCO is hanging out!

Can you dance as both a lead and a follower (both the man's & woman's parts)?

I can lead the basics but need to learn more.

What's your favorite Rueda move today?

Sabor!!!!!!!!! And I like a little siete loco thrown in with Sombrero de abajo

Additional Information

"I create and manage websites. I have managed to bring SAOCO up to being in the top 10 of almost all relevant searches in Google. Let me know if you need help with yours."
