- Rueda at the Keir Norwich, Friday night
The fun with rueda is, that you can go and dance anywhere in the world with the total knowledge that the calls you know will
a) have different names b) be danced differently c) called in such an accent that you don't recognize the call.
But don't let that put you off joining in. Before joining someones Rueda firstly try to judge the level they are dancing at to see if you can fit in and keep up. There will be calls you dont know at any level of Rueda but if you have been dancing some time watching closely can normally get you through the most simple moves. If you feel its beyond you go and ask them for a Rueda after they have finished letting them know your capablities. Better still, call one yourself and let them struggle a bit.
