Kate's la rueda course is finally going ahead! It's at Que Pasa on Wednesdays from October 18 until November 15, 7.30-9pm, £25 by advance booking. To book, contact Kate by email or mobile (07870 248827).
It's aimed at rueda beginners and improvers, but she's planning to run a follow-up course if there's enough interest. You need to be at least improvers level salsa: the crucial thing is being able to dance on time.
I did the course she ran a couple of years ago (and have been hassling her to repeat it ever since). If you've tried rueda before and not enjoyed it you might like it the way Kate teaches it. Her style of rueda is really dynamic, with plenty of changes of speed and direction. Some other teachers I've seen put too much emphasis on elaborate or jokey moves and forget about pace.
Apart from being fun, rueda is good for honing your sense of rhythm and also for giving you a repertoire of Cuban moves which make it easier to dance with Spanish or Latin American dancers.
