NEW! Monday Rueda de Casino (Cuban Salsa) Beg. Level 1 Starts Monday Jan. 9th

Greetings Casineros & Amigos!
Yes, it's true! I have a new beginners rueda de casino class starting up in Vista.  My class is integrated with the Soy Bella Fitness Program. We are starting another set of Level One Beginners Track Starting January 9th, 2017. If this was on your new years resolution, don't  procrastinate as you will end up waiting until Summer/Fall 2017 when Level 1 is offered again.  To learn more about Maritza's class curriculum, click this link.

WHAT IS RUEDA DE CASINO?  This is Cuban-style salsa in a circle switching partners. If you have never seen this dance before, click this video link to see a random, not choreographed,  rueda de casino circle lead by Maritza Baida when she was in Seattle. This dance will give you a workout, and actually prevents Alzhiemer's. The dance does improve memory retention, and you will learn some Cuban Spanish along the way. Biggest reason people love it is because you meet people from all walks of life, people you would have never imagined The diversity awareness factor is huge in this dance. WATCH, you will be addicted!!
