Rueda de Casino is a way of dancing Cuban salsa where pairs form a circle (in Spanish, rueda means "wheel"), and partners frequently swap. A cantante (Spanish for "singer") gives commands. This list is a quick lookup to remind yourself of the commands - click on the names of the moves to see more complete descriptions.
Please also help to make this wikibook educational and interesting, by adding new commands and editing the existing commands.
