Ritmos Latinos Indiana

CLASSES

Ritmos Latinos offers classes in rueda de casino, a social form of Cuban salsa. Our classes are primarily intended for people who want to dance for enjoyment and socialization. Our beginners class starts with the fundamentals – no partner or experience is needed.

Because learning rueda de casino is a cumulative process, we ask that members attend most classes in a series in order to keep up with the group. Teaching assistants are available for 15 minutes before and after class to help you catch up if you miss a class or just want a little extra practice. Join us in celebrating Cuban music and culture – una bulla!
