Casino dance is of Cuban origin and its movements are great, Casino constantly evolves due to the exploration of new movements including other present music tendencies.

Once more Cubans gathered to dance salsa forming a Rueda de Casino, the event was on Saturday November the 14th at the Casino Campestre, Camagüey city within the frame of the Provincial Contest of “Ruedas de Casino” for children and youngsters sponsored by the Provincial Centre of Culture and Education.

Under the simple rhythms and lines dancers, mark the steps of a style showed up in the 50 decade due to the mixture of son, chachachá and other Cuban rhythms.

Casino name was taken from the Old Club known as Casino Deportivo, located in Havana.

The longest Rueda de Casino was made in June the 15, 2009 at Niemeyer Square, UCI-Cuba.
