I created a wikibook for rueda commands. I did not take the time to do it all in english, but the german version is more advanced. Get-back-world-respect 11:38, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

I get an empty wikibook page when i click on the German version.Kdammers 06:41, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Let's get a "rueda" Spanish page!!!!! gbwr alreadz has worked up the wikibook thing, but some-one searching in Spanish for rueda gets nothing more than an article about ruedas (wheels). Kdammers 07:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Check out cruzy.org Salsa Rueda Santa Cruz for step by step instructions on many beginner moves. I would disagree that you can't dance Rueda in another place -- my husband and I traveled to London and Munich and were able to play along with the slightly different calls. You need to be a good follower, mostly.... Practicing Rueda helps you learn that skill --watching the circle and dancigngat the same time. Some fun moves missing from the list: toca el hombro, toca la rodilla, toca la cadera, la cabeza, etc. -- basically the leader turns to the right and the follower to the left and touches the relevant body part on the "one" count, kind of like "un fly" or "una foto." How about "ni pa' mi, ni pa' ti" -- on count of seven, clap facing the circle, then "pattycake" the next person (again leader turn to right, followers to left), clap again on count of three, then pattycake the partner you were dancing with, repeat until call of dile que no.

[edit] A different dance

There is an older dance called rueda. We should have an English article on it, too. See the Spanish wik. Kdammers 06:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
