Rueda is a style of dance that originated in Cuba. The name "Rueda" comes from the Spanish word for "wheel", which refers to the circular formations that dancers move in during the dance.
Rueda is danced in a group setting, often with multiple couples participating. Dancers form a circle and perform synchronized moves together, frequently changing partners as the dance progresses. The moves and transitions are dictated by a single “caller” who announces them to the group.
The dance style is upbeat and energetic, featuring quick footwork and movements, spins, and many intricate partner exchanges. The dance style is strongly influenced by Cuban music and culture, particularly Son and Salsa Cubana, but has also integrated elements of other Latin dance styles such as Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha, and Bachata.
It is interactive and communal, creating a joyful, social atmosphere. Rueda is also frequently taught and danced at Latin dance festivals due to its engaging group dynamic.
Also, "Rueda" is a Denominación de Origen (DO) located in Castilla y León, Spain. This wine region is known for its high-quality white wines made mainly from the Verdejo grape variety.
