Frequently asked questions

What is Cuban salsa?

Cuban salsa (also known as Casino or Salsa Cubana) is the original salsa from Cuba. It is danced in a circular motion and emphasizes connection, improvisation, and rueda de casino — a group dance where couples switch partners in a circle.

Do I need a partner?

No! The Cuban salsa community is very welcoming to solo dancers. Partner switching is common, especially in rueda de casino. You are always welcome to come on your own.
