    Learn How to Dance: Beginner Cuban Salsa - Sun., Feb. 12, 12:15 p.m.

    Mayté Alzugaray will offer a free one-hour beginner's lesson of Cuban Salsa Dancing on Sun., Feb.12 at 12:15 p.m. (meet in the sanctuary). No experience or partner is necessary. The advantage of Cuban Salsa is that it can be danced in couples, or in a circle that we call "rueda" (which means "wheel" in Spanish), exchanging partners after every move. This dance is a lot of fun and a very communal experience. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to dance your first very simple rueda to happy Cuban music. If you want to learn more, you can Google "Rueda de Casino." If you have any questions, email Mayté at .
