Kinda like Cuban square-dancing. It looks like a modified salsa step, and
is danced to the same sort of music, but is performed by several couples in
a ring. Moves are called out and hand-signaled by one dancer to the entire
group, and partners are rotated around the ring during successive moves.

Moves can be fairly simple or fairly elaborate, and the class will teach
you several of both. You'll probably never see this dance at a ballroom
competition, but it's a lot of fun and plenty of the Dancing Illini
regulars know it and enjoy starting rueda rings at the Wednesday competitions.
