Rueda de Casino WADF World Championship 2016
Competing teams
Welcome!
We are excited! The 15th SalsaNor Rueda Congress in a row!
The SalsaNor congress started in Stavanger in 2002, and over the years it
has visited all the cities in Europe and Cuba in this list (to the right).
Welcome also to our second official Rueda de Casino WADF World
Championship! 5 teams will be competing for the WADF World
Championship title in the finals Friday night.
Again we have a very strong line-up with excellent artists, top
international and national instructors and DJs, lead by the eminent
Master of Ceremony Rohan Brown.
The workshops offer 4 different Rueda levels, and we have extended
our class schedule to two parallel non-rueda classes, including
Kizomba, Rumba, Cuban body moves, Bachata, Afro-Beat, and more.
The parties will have two dance floors, one mainly with Cuban salsa &
rueda, and some son, bachata, reggaeton, etc, and one with
kizomba/semba, with some bachata, afro-beat, kuduro, etc.
New! Social dance with DJ in the lunch breaks and Saturday afternoon.
And as you will see in this folder, we also have other news.
We have a few more women than men attending the congress.
However, the balance differs for the various Rueda levels. On Rueda E
there are more leads than followers signed up, so Rueda E leaders are
encouraged to also select some classes on other Rueda levels, to even
the balance. We have also planned other arrangements to even the
balance, including one class not requiring couples on all time slots,
workshops for ladies, rueda workshops for one lead/two followers,
invited guest participants in some workhops. We appreciate it if you will
help evening out the balance by using the non-rueda workshops.
Ábaco, the new dance from 2015, is now completed for the core of the
Norwegian Rueda Standard! Learn it in workshops, and join Ábaco at
the parties. Women are especially encouraged to try it!
Thanks to all the volunteers who are willing to put in time and effort to
make the Rueda Congress a great experience for everyone!
We hope you will have a fantastic congress in Trondheim!

Aniversario 15 – Fiesta los QUINCE!
Instructors, DJs, MC
Welcome to the 15 years anniversary of the SalsaNor Rueda Congress. Our celebration of
this milestone is inspired by the Cubans. When they are 15 years, they dress up in the
most extravagant outfit, having a great meal, partying, taking photos and not least dancing the night away. If your dress is too much for the entire night, do as the Cubans ..
The Saturday night Gala dinner and Fiesta los 15 will be inspired by this Cuban tradition,
Quince. We will have the Cubans learn us a proper Quince dance, and there will be
surprises! And a prize for the most Cuban quinceanera!

We will try out a new idea this year: to determine which Rueda figure is really our favorite!
Your favorite Rueda figure may be old, new, homemade, crazy, standard, whatever,
BUT it has to be simple enough that we can all learn it fast and use it in a social Rueda.
Everyone can nominate a figure during the weekend, and we will all have a quick voting
at the Sunday Salsa Matinee, between 18-19, selecting the most popular Rueda figure.
We will then all learn the figure and dance it in our social Rueda.
To nominate a favorite figure you need:
- a suitable Rueda figure with a suitable name
- 3 couples to demonstrate the figure at the Sunday matinee (18-19)
- to find Bernt and convince him that your Rueda figure is suitable,
then sign up with him - before Sunday (picture on page 3)

If this works well, next year we will try to find place for the voting at an
earlier party, before some has to start leaving for home.
Let’s find out if your favorite congress Rueda figure 2016 will be a surprise,
to you, to your Rueda friends or to your Rueda instructors!

RUEDA de casino workshops
Rueda new figures
New Rueda figures selected by the instructor
Rueda standard figures
Figures from the Norwegian Rueda Standard.
Rueda instructor’s choice
The instructor’s favorite figures, maybe you will
be surprised by something different than what
you are used to..?
Rueda de la calle (Street rueda)
Fun rueda figures from the street. Fun stuff,
not complicated salsa figures and structures.
Rueda con estilo (Rueda with style)
Focus on dancing rueda with nice Cuban style.
Rueda por fuera (Rueda outward)
Rueda danced outwards, not to the center.
Very useful if you want to try Rueda llanta, and
is commonly used in Rueda combo.
Rueda con dos parejas
Many small circles with only 2 couples in ecah
rueda. Focus on figures for small circles. Very
useful to know before trying Rueda llanta.
Rueda cruzada
Rueda with two different “groups” in the same
circle, on different beat. Partner change only
within the same group. A fun challenge.
Rueda con Afrocubano / Rumba
Rueda figures from traditional Cuban dances,
rumba and Afrocuban dances.
Rueda en linea (Rueda on a line)
Rueda on a line, in stead of in a circle. Is that a
contradiction – a linear wheel..? Find out.
Rueda gemelas (Rueda twin)
Two circles dancing the same figures in
different order. It looks crazy!
Rueda torno (Rueda lathe)
This is a new Rueda and quite advanced
structure where you enter various formations.
All of a sudden you are in a Rueda llanta
formation, and before you know it the Rueda
forms a star. Recommended to try.
Rueda confusion (Rueda confusion)
5
Rueda that involves frequent changes of leadfollow roles and alterations of timing.
When “confusion” is called, the lead will
change into follow and the follow will change
into lead until return to regular Rueda.
Rueda themes for experienced dancers:
INT in the workshop schedule means
intermediate level in the specific theme.
If you don’t know the theme well already,
please choose a different class, to give the
experienced dancers a chance to improve.
Rueda contratiempo – 2 levels
Rueda in the timing used in Son. Expect some
regular rueda figures danced in different timing.
And maybe also some figures from Son.
Rueda con dos mujeres – 2 levels
Rueda where men dance with two women at the
same time. You can dance surprisingly many
standard figures this way. Fun, and at least as
challenging for the women as for the men!
Rueda llanta – 2 levels
One big rueda consisting of many small twocouples ruedas. This involves dancing rueda por
fuera and rueda con dos parejas, which must be
known in advance. Changing partner is done
both within the small and the big circles.
Note the prerequisits.
Rueda trébol – only INT level
Similar to Rueda llanta, but Rueda trébol (clover)
is based on small circles with 3 couples. Note:
you need to know Rueda llanta to take this class.
Please, respect the rueda levels
B - improver
C - intermediate
D - advanced
E - master
You are welcome to attend classes on a
lower Rueda level than you signed up for!
Special RUEDA workshops
Rueda de mambo
This is mambo (not salsa), danced in Rueda.
Mambo steps, figures and music!
Rueda de cha cha cha
This is cha cha cha (not salsa), danced in Rueda.
Cha cha cha steps, figures and music!

NON-RUEDA workshops
Rumba - with live percussion
Traditional cuban dance, very
useful in salsa and rueda. It helps
you to improve the general quality
of your dance. The Cubans love it!
This year with live percussion!
Afrocubano - Yemaya
Afro-cuban moves from some of the orishas,
chosen by the instructor. Very useful as body
movement class and a great work-out session!
Yemaya is one of the orishas. The characteristic
moves is also used in Ábaco (in “patin”).
AfroSalsa
Elements from Afrocuban dances used in cuban
salsa. It gives the salsa dancer a range of
possibilities in improvisation to the music.
Cuban body moves
Focus on controlling and using your body in the
dance, not only feet and arms. Cuban style.
Salsa triples (Salsa with two women)
Salsa where one man is dancing with two
women at the same time.
Cha cha cha
A fun and stylish dance with roots in Cuba,
closely related to salsa. The class is suitable for
dancers already familiar with the basic salsa
steps.
Son
Several elements in salsa dance and music come
from Son. Son is danced contratiempo and is
beautiful couples dance, easy to fall in love with.
Pachanga
Pachanga is a music genre, and the
accompanying dance / dance movements
originating from the 1950’s. Pachanga is still
used frequently as mambo (salsa) music, and
often you can see salsa dancers spice up their
dance with pachanga steps.
First weekend of September 2017

Kizomba
Traditional Kizomba is an African dance
characterized by close partner connection and
smooth, grounded movement. There is no “basic
step” after the fashion of ballroom dances, to be
repeated continuously throughout the dance.
Kizomba can be successfully danced with only
four or five moves, and yet mastery lies in the
subtlety of movement and of the lead-follow
connection. The kizomba music springs from the
semba tradition in Angola, inspired by other
African music forms as well as Caribbean zouk.
Semba
Semba is a rhythmic form of music and dance
from Angola. It is based on a firm stepping
motion, rather like pushing into sand. The steps
are fairly quick, and can be linear or move
around the lead. It was born in the 20th century
at the intersection of traditional African dance
and colonial European influence. Semba music is
one of the main contributors to kizomba music.
Afro-Beat
An energetic class to teach you some African
moves to upbeat music and loosen up your body!
Learn the moves, practise them and use them in
a short choreography.
Dominican Bachata
This dance style originated in the Dominican
Republic, and has roots in Cuban Son and Bolero.
The dance is characterized by a relatively simple
footwork, however its typical hip movements
makes the dance challenging.
Sensual Bachata
This sensual version of the Dominican Bachata is
characterized by very subtle, elegant and
romantic movements. It was created in Spain
about 12 years ago, and has since become a very
popular dance worldwide. The music is slightly
more commercial than salsa and cha cha cha.
Ábaco (abacus)
Rueda inspired line dance / salsa suelta! Last year we introduced a brand new
dance, Ábaco! You dance inside the Rueda to the Rueda commands, similar
dance figures, without a partner, on lines like a line dance.
Ábaco has been in use in several cities since last year, and in 2016 we are
completing the list of Ábaco figures to cover all the CORE figures of the
Norwegian Rueda standard.
Learn Ábaco in the workshops and join the Ábaco at the parties!
