Come early and take part in a FREE salsa dance lesson before the concert! Lesson will be held from 5:45pm to 6:30pm. Space is limited! So please reserve your spot!!

This class will be an introduction to the dance of casino, an elegant and energetic partner dance that originated in Cuba in the 1950s from son, chachachá, and danzón. You will also learn some simple moves from the fun and dynamic group version of the dance, rueda de casino, that involves switching partners and performing moves in unison according to a caller.

UV Casineros is a Cuban dance group focused on casino and rueda de casino with classes on Tuesday nights in Norwich. We also host Latin dance socials and travel to Boston and beyond to dance with nearby Cuban dance communities.
