Question by dancerforlife: Any name ideas for a salsa dance company?
The company is for a style of dance called Salsa Rueda or the full name is Salsa Rueda de Casino. It’s from Cuba and centers around the idea of a wheel or circle, hence the name “rueda.” So far one of my ideas is Bailamos, or Bailamos Salsa Rueda. Some people said they didn’t know what that meant. Should I not care? Another idea was Dance and Rythym Salsa Rueda, but that might be too long. If you have any comments on these ideas or any ideas of your own that would be very helpful. I need to figure this out soon. Ideas involving some of the themes of Salsa Rueda or involving Spanish/Spanglish would be great too. Thanks for the help!

Question by uacat: What should I expect for my first salsa class?
I am finally going to join a salsa club/dance on my campus and i’m so excited because I have wanted to join for a while and I was too busy with classes and work, but now I finally have the time. The style is Rueda de Casino which is the Cuban style of salsa and I was just wondering if any one had any tips on how to be somewhat decent during my first class. By the way I used to dance, but I haven’t for 5 years.
