Carlsbad Rueda Practice - Saturday Feb 2nd
Hello Everyone!
Here are the details:
What: Carlsbad Rueda Practice
When: Saturday, February 2nd from 12:00noon-2:00pm
Where: In front of the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad (Next to Legoland)
5790 Armada Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008
This is strictly a practice so no teaching, just coaching, joking around, getting some exercise and most of all to have some fun in the sun. What better way to enjoy than dancing in front of the flower fields overlooking the ocean. This location is awesome! I believe in the phrase, “It takes a village to raise a casinero.” This could be the beginning of a new tradition. The Random Acts of Cuban Movement is starting to gain some momentum. What's next? Hmmmm..hiking in Calavera Hills and dancing rueda at the top of the old crator? Let's talk plans on Saturday!!

Casino on Astroturf at Solana Beach - Sat Jan 12th
The first of the new year
and it's going to happen. No cancellations unless it really does rain.
Dress in layers in case it is still cold outside. Come get together San
Diego style and dance on the beachside of San Diego's beautiful ocean
fronts, Solana Beach, where they don't have an amplified music
restriction by the city.
When: Saturday, January 12, 2013 from 3:30-5:30pm
Where: Fletcher Cove Beach Park in Solana Beach: 111 South Sierra Avenue Solana Beach, CA 92075
Come watch the sun go down as we dance together. I am throwing in some structure to this event just to see if it will bring more people to dance with us. To meet the needs of the intermediate/advanced casineros, I'll be sharing 3 new moves or ones that we all just forgot! There are so many, right??
Come learn 3 new/forgotten moves you can do for rueda and/or casino 1-on-1.
January's highlighted moves are:
1. Echufla con ronde (beginner move for kicks and giggles)
2. Enchufla y Casate con la hermana, la abuela, la prima, la suegra, tu madre: response "la tuya" (intermediate move)
3.Setenta Moderna from Seattle (advanced)
The "show-share-teach" a.k.a. SST will be at 4pm.
No charge, totally free but please bring a snack dish to share with everyone, chips, salsa, brownies, edename, veggies, crackers, hummus, drinks etc. These are just ideas.
We'll be at Fletcher Cove Beach Park. The exit from the I-5 is Lomas Santa Fe, then go west, towards the beach, all the way until it end. You'll run right into it. Find any side parking and come join us on the astroturf area over looking the ocean!

UPDATE 2013 San Francisco Rueda Festival - Feb 14th-17th
In 6 more weeks as of today, the biggest rueda festival in the US will take place with a long list of guest instructors, workshops and dancing until the wee hours of the morning for four days and nights. A highlight to mention this year is that Wilfredo Guilbiac Rodriguez from our own San Diego will be a guest instructor at this festival. PLUS, his performance group, Cubata, will be performing for the first time. So eight of us will be there! That's right! Cubata includes: Wilfredo, Evelyn, Sarina, Nabia, Rodrigo "Rudy", Noe, Raul and me. So we want cheerleaders out there to cheer us on! We will be performing on Sunday, Feb 16th and Willy will be doing his workshop on Cuban style body movement.

Hope to see you there! Una bulla!
