*** ELECTIVE: Swing Rueda w/ Megan & Laura ***
Swing Rueda is an exciting, very social, group lindy swing dance! Adapted from Salsa Rueda by Jeff Miller and Elaine Hewlett, Swing Rueda is danced in a circle with two or more couples. One dancer calls the moves and the entire circle executes in unison, as the follows travel around the circle dancing one or more moves with each lead. Once you learn the core moves you can dance a Swing Rueda anywhere. Get ready for a lot of fun and a ton of cool moves that can be incorporated into your Lindy Hop.
