http://salsaboston.com/sophias
Starting
Wed., Jan. 29, Salsa Night at Sophia's will include a Casino Rueda class from
7:45 to 9:15, as part of the night. We're doing this because Casino Rueda
is a blast and we don't see much of it around here. In other words, we want to
get it going in this area! The lessons will be taught by members of the
MIT Casino Rueda Group. There will be an introductory lesson concurrent
with an ongoing intermediate level class. If you've never done Casino Rueda but
know basic Salsa, take the introductory class once or twice and graduate up to
the intermediate level. If you've never danced Salsa at all, Johnny and
Kelly's regular Salsa class will still be happening as usual from
9:15-10:15. $12 covers you for the whole night ($10 after 10:15). If
you're an expert and don't plan to take Johnny and Kelly's class, you will have
an hour inbetween to practice, have a drink, or get a bite to eat
downstairs.
If you've never heard of Casino Rueda, it's an "exhilarating"
dance that comes from Cuba via Miami, that can best be described as "Salsa meets
square dancing", or "sychronized Salsa". It's a group Salsa dance, with
partners in a circle, there's a caller and and a bunch of moves that everyone
knows. As the dance progresses, everyone does the same moves together,
often trading partners as part of it. The whole thing is a blast! If
you ever danced in Miami, it's extremely popular down there. JAM'NASTICS teaches
some of it as well in Boston.
More details will be posted in www.salsaboston.com/sophias/rueda.html, with a video clip as
well.

less than one year, a team of teenagers from the Hyde Square Task Force has
turned what was only a passion for dance into a dream come true. With
formal instruction from Burju and Victor from the Hacha Y Machete Dance
Stylists, this team of teenagers has choreographed and practiced a variety of
Latin and hip hop dance routines with such dedication that they never fail to
dazzle audiences throughout Boston and Massachusetts. Now the team has
found out that they are one of two youth groups out of hundreds of applicants to
be accepted to perform at the 5th Annual Salsa Congress, a professional venue to
showcase salsa dance talent from around the world. In order to participate
Ritmo en Accion is asking for your support. Help make this dream come true
