Workshops at the Rueda Congress focus on Rueda de Casino in its many forms and related Cuban dance skills. You will find a range of class topics such as:
- Rueda technique and timing (for keeping the circle synchronized)
- Standard and novel Rueda calls/figures (from basic moves to advanced sequences)
- Rueda structures like LLanta, Contrario, etc., for higher levels
- Partner dancing technique (Cuban casino) and body movement to improve your overall dance
- Rueda styling and improvisation (how to add flavor and personal style within the rueda)
- Occasionally, related dances or fusion elements (e.g. incorporating Afro-Cuban rumba, or fun choreography routines)
All workshops are taught by experienced instructors, including some of the most renowned Rueda teachers in the world. There are usually multiple workshops running in parallel, each catering to a different level or topic. This means you can choose the session that interests you most in that slot. Some workshops might be open level (for all), while many are level-specific. The event schedule will indicate which classes are for which level.
In summary, expect intensive and fun Rueda workshops at every level, covering everything from fundamental figures to challenging new moves. It’s a full curriculum for Rueda enthusiasts. By the end of the congress, you will have learned a lot of new material and gained inspiration to take home to your local Rueda group.
