Wed 14 May 2025 - Level 1: Enchufe, Level 2: Montaña

BIG thanks to Sandra for teaching level 1 this week! Excellent job - the students really appreciated all your preparation and dedication. This week, level 1 learned Enchufe & Enchufe Doble, while Level 2 learned Montaña.

Syllabus - Check out the moves for each level!

Level 1 - Enchufe & Enchufe Doble

Enchufe: Enchufe (or Enchufla) is one of many rueda moves that involves switching partners. It's also one of the first moves that people learn in Rueda de Casino.

Enchufe Doble: Enchufe Doble is one of the many variations of Enchufe. We'll teach them all!

Level 2 - Montaña

Montaña: The name of this move comes from how the arms move up & down like the peaks of a mountain range. This is our first move that takes more than one 8-count! We are getting into more complicated moves! Key things to remember are starting the prep on the 7 before the move starts, and crossing hands when doing that prep (right-to-right and left-to-left.)

Step-by-step:

Beginners - Welcome! Guapea & Dame are your foundational moves

Guapea: Basic move in rueda (cuban style salsa dancing)

Dame: (Scroll down to see detailed step-by-step video.) Switch partners by lead bringing partner on right over to left. Dame is the same as Dile Que No - dame is what we call in a rueda circle and dile que no is what is done dancing one-on-one.
