Wed 25 Jun 2025 - Level 1: Enchufe, Level 2: Setenta
Thanks as always DJ Mario! We enjoyed the light show along with your great sound system.
In level 2 we learned Setenta (70) and in level 1 we learned Enchufe and Enchufe Doble. Both levels reviewed all moves from previous weeks as always.
Setenta: What a milestone! Setenta (70) is one of the most important and most common rueda moves - and one that you only learn when you've grown to a certain level of experience. As we master Setenta, we will see our dance skills grow and all rueda moves will become easier for us. Setenta leads to so many other moves too! 71, 72, 73, setenta complicado, etc etc.
Like so many moves, Setenta is a combination of moves we already know, just with different hand-holds. Watch the video and you'll see: (1) vacila (2) enchufe (3) enchufe for lead (4) enchufe (5) dile que no.
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.
Dame: (Detailed step-by-step video, start at 2:00)
