Sandpoint Cuban Salsa - Casino & Rueda

Only four classes in… and just LOOK at them go. 🤩🔥

Our students are absolutely crushing it!

They’re learning far more than just the steps. They’re layering footwork, growing into the roles of leading & following, listening & responding to Alejandro’s rueda calls in real time, and discovering what it feels like to move together as one circle.

But our favorite part?

The smiles. The confidence that’s starting to shine through. The laughter. The personality each dancer is bringing to the movement.

That’s what rueda de casino is all about. It’s not about being perfect… it’s about connection, communication, trust & joy.

We are incredibly proud of every single one of our students. Watching their growth week after week has been such a gift.

And the best part? We’re only getting started. 💙

Way to go, everyone! 👏🔥💃🕺

Happy Friday, all! This past week was all about building confidence in everything we’ve learned so far. 💃🇨🇺

We’re now three weeks into our 7-week series, and it’s been SO rewarding to watch everyone’s confidence grow from one week to the next. ☺️ From learning new rueda calls to moving more naturally with each partner change, our dancers are making incredible progress! 👏🏼

Thinking about joining us?

Our current series is fully underway, but we’d love to have you at the next one! Send us a message to join our Fall Series waitlist & be the first to hear when early bird registration opens.

Not ready for a full series? No problem! We’ll also be hosting a community salsa social later this summer that’s open to everyone… and no experience is needed. Message us & we’ll make sure you’re the first to receive all the details. 💃🇨🇺

🎯 Students: A little challenge… can you identify a rueda call you’re seeing in this video? 👀 There are a few! 😉 Drop your guesses in the comments!

Well, sometimes casino looks like class.
And sometimes it looks like this…
Dancing at home in your cozy clothes on a rainy evening. ☺️

That’s one part of what we love about this dance… at its heart, casino is about connection. Whether you’re learning in class or moving together in your living room, it invites play, conversation & joy. 🤍

To our students: we are SO excited for Class #2 tomorrow!

You’ve already taken the hardest step; showing up & getting out of your comfort zone. Now we get to keep building together: more rhythm, more confidence, more connection, more laughter & more fun! 🤩

Counting down the hours until we see you tomorrow! ✨
