Rueda Around the World

Salsa Rueda/Casino in Europe
Go to Europe and chances are, your partner will dance casino. Because of the freedom of going to/from Cuba, Europeans are far more open to Cuban salsa than the United States. Europe is the home to numerous Cubamemucho events which are highly recommended! Wherever it is you are going, we (hopefully) have you covered. SAOCO has been working hard to uncover the best rueda and casino dancing in various cities around the world and U.S.A. Although we realize that in some of the larger cities there may be more than one rueda group or website, we have worked hard to bring you only the best!

Aarhaus
Website: http://www.salsaclave.dk/index2.html - They have drop-in lessons and free dancing after the classes. They have a solid website (although not in English) and because it is nicely done, some of the information is read-able (locations) because of it.
