Rueda Fresca (Fresh
Wheel) features two amateur dance troupes of young people from Santiago
de Cuba whose specialty is rueda de casino. These dancers are representative
of a growing number of Cuban youth who are reconnecting with this
dance tradition and making it their own by inventing new turns,
moves, and stylings. While still popular as a fun party actively,
the latest wave of rueda de casino from Cuba is designed for performance.
The performance style demonstrated in Rueda Fresca is highly inventive
and complex. A single call represents not just two or three moves
but an extended series of turns and dance maneuvers that often reflect
a theme, as does the call "Festival de Jumping". These new calls
are best described as rueda choreographies.
Rueda Fresca is organized into three parts
Part 1 - 13 rueda choreographies by performing group "Casino.com"
demonstrated at regular tempo, and also broken down with counts
at a much slower tempo.
Part 2 - 11 rueda choreographies by performing group "Team Cuba"
demonstrated at regular tempo, and also broken down with counts
at a much slower tempo.
Part 3 - live rueda performance event with performing groups "Casino.com"
and "Impacto" with some of the same moves plus many more.
