Ruedatón 2024
On the weekend of May 11 and 12, Madrid will come together for the second edition of Ruedatón Madrid, ‘the roundest marathon’. The idea, like last year, is to take a route through emblematic sites of our city, in which we will dance rueda de casino at some of the landmarks.
It is a free event and open to everyone, and we only ask for three things (and none of them cost money):
- Have a sufficient rueda level to be able to make flowy ruedas. Enchufla, dame, 70, vacílala and familia are good examples of the minimum you should know. There will be higher level ruedas, of course, so that everyone can enjoy.
- Follow the ruedetiquette. For example, do not get into a rueda without a partner, do not get in the middle of a rueda that is already formed, etc. You have all the details in our dedicated article: Ruedetiquette
- Wear the appropriate colors that allow others to identify your role as a leader (red), follower (blue) or leadower (purple), so that it is very simple and quick to form a rueda.
All the information about the event (route, parties, etc.) is on the corresponding website: ruedaton.es

SUMMER MAY BE OVER, BUT DANCING ISN’T
We will officially say goodbye to summer just before the autumn equinox, but remembering that this doesn’t mean dancing is over. In fact, for us, it will be the starting point of the 2023-2024 school year, which begins on Monday the 25th.
As always, we are delighted to organize free dance events in Madrid, but we must always remember that it is very important to leave the space clean.
This dance event will take place at La Ermita de Virgen del Puerto on the 20th at 8 PM, and, of course, it will be free of charge. We will also take the opportunity to make the latest group assignments.

Special workshop – Rueda Equis with Diego and Noe – Dame Five Salsa
Another CELEBRITY Rueda workshop! This time, Diego and Noe, the globetrotting dynamic teacher duo and creators of High Five Salsa in the UK, are coming to teach their very own new rueda structure, RUEDA EQUIS, created in colaboration with Sassan (Berlin classes – Salsa Sassan).

Place: Acting (Metro Argüelles / Ventura Rodríguez)
Price: 14e

Diego and Noe will challenge you and keep you in stitches. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn a fun new Rueda structure from the creators themselves!

What more could you ask for?
Rueda EQUIS doesn’t have leads or followers, but Leadowers! Therefore, it will always help if you have basic knowledge of both roles, althout it is not required.
Sold out!
