- Cuban Salsa: Para El Medio Posted on December 28, 2020 by Jesper Tverskov Leave a comment This is an important move because Para el Medio is not only the standard way to start a Rueda de Casino but it is also one of the best ways to start a social 1-on-1 dance.

patineta doble
‘patineta doble’ is a nice variation of ‘patineta’, and also an excellent challenge for the ladies/followers. The general idea when adding ‘doble’ to a figure is to do the central part of the figure twice.
Note what happens between the two patinetas: the men move forward, so the ladies do not have to move far out before going back in to the center. The men are circling around the ladies, using the steps from ‘cero’.
In ‘patineta’ the ladies/followers return to the same partner, while in ‘patin para mujeres’ the ladies/followers move to the next partner in abajo direction, also keeping more eye contact in order to spot the next partner to make the exit better.

vcilala y florea doble
This figure is a variation of ‘vacilala y florea‘ where you dance ‘florea‘ twice, like you often do when combining vacilala and floera in casino. It’s a nice figure to play with your eye contact with your partner throughout the figure. Using this figure in rueda will also challenge challenge you on how to position yourself in relation to your partner.
