    Beginner Rueda Class
    --------------------------
    Tuesdays, 8:15 - 9:30 PM
    February 28-April 4 (skip March 21 Spring Break)

    This class teaches you a salsa group dance that first became popular in Cuba
    during the late 1950s. Everybody dances as a couple. As rueda means "wheel,"
    couples stand in a circle. During the dance there is a constant changing of
    partners, which makes it a vivid and joyful spectacle. As seen in the
    nightclub scene of the movie, "Dance With Me," rueda is of high energy and a
    lot of fun. The class will progress quickly, so some salsa experience is
    preferred.
    Taught by Yuri Sohn & Mariana Silva

    Each session (5 classes in total) is $30.
    No partner is required.
