Rueda de Casino Competition Training

A lot of you have asked us when are going to start a new Rueda de Casino performance team, finally here's your chance!!

Buena Vista Dance will be putting together an Amateur Rueda de Casino team for competition at the Australia Rueda de Casino Championship, held on 25-27 October 2013.

We would like to encourage all Buena Vista Dance salsa students to consider this opportunity, as learning a choreography is a great way to take your dancing skill to the next level, as well as a chance to build friendships with your fellow dancers.

Experience level required for this choreography will be BVD Beginner level 4 or above (at least 4 terms of regular attendance at BVD classes). If you are unsure about your level, please speak to Moro at any of our classes.

Training to learn this choreography will run for 10 weeks starting on 8th June, for 2 hours every Saturday at the All Souls Church Hall, Leichhardt.

Cost for the course will be $250 for 20 hours training (2 hrs/week for 10 weeks), payable on the first week of training. Please keep in mind there are also additional expenses for a performance such as costume and shoes, and purchasing a performers pass for the event (which will be heavily discounted at half price for BVD students!).

After the 10 weeks is completed, there may be extra rehearsals required leading up to the competition, to be decided depending on how well the team progresses.

Rumba with Live Music Every Thursday at Leichhardt

We are very happy to anounce that our weekly rumba classes are now being accompanied by live drumming courtesy of Moro's brother Yuri, who will be joining us to play live music during Moro's class every Thursday.

Yuri is a highly skilled and experienced Cuban percussionist, and we are lucky to have him here in Sydney with us now, teaming up with Moro to make our rumba classes even better! Come and join us for the most authentic Cuban rumba class available in Australia, taught by a pair of talented brothers!

Rumba classes are on every Thursday at 8pm at All Souls Anglican Church, Leichhardt, and are suitable for both beginner and intermediate level students. If you've been thinking about learning rumba, now is a great time to start!
