Our Mission

Our Mission
Our mission is to introduce, promote and maintain the ethnic art of Salsa dance, Casino Rueda style de Cuba. We strive to bring fun and happiness to the people through our classes, demonstrations, and performances.

We believe that because of its nature, dancing in a circle, Salsa Rueda can unify people of all ages, ethnicities, race, religion, beliefs, gender and profession dancing together.



Our Philosophy

 

Our philosophy is to support others and be respectful.

We want people to feel comfortable, have fun together and have a great time!
To ensure everyone feels comfortable we defined our culture and philosophy as follows:

We try to be inclusive to everyone unless a person's behavior disrupts our culture, disturbs others or our classes.
We do not tolerate any rude or disrespectful behavior towards anyone due to varying levels of dancing skills, ethnicity, skin color, religion, beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, disability or profession.


Anyone who wants to participate in our classes and performances needs to be in a physical and mental healthy condition to be able to understand the instructions, execute the moves and dance with other dance partners.
