About WCS Rueda

West Coast Swing (WCS) Rueda was created in 2011 by Doug Silton and Damon & Lisa D'Amico.

WCS Rueda follows the traditions of Casino/Salsa Rueda and Lindy Hop Rueda; WCS Rueda is West Coast Swing danced in a circle with a variety of verbal calls that dictate what moves the dancers will do, including partner changes for both leaders and followers.

The beauty of Rueda is that:

it's social fun with dancers of all levels but you're not dancing with the same person for an entire song
increased learning potential for beginner / intermediate dancers
classes / workshops for different levels
name branding for your own moves that will be called globally
something to do at both local dances and conventions
calls on WCSRueda.com are labeled Novice through Pro
Rueda is a non-competitive form of WCS
musical calls will make sure that the dance is not just a choreographed piece, but an actual living, breathing dance

The goal of WCS Rueda:

create a friendlier social environment for social dancing without a competitive notion
with enough interest, every WCS convention will hopefully soon have a ballroom dedicated to WCS Rueda

WCSRueda.com is a free website. If you do prefer, however, to have WCS Rueda on DVD, that can be purchased online at SwingDanceStuff.com

As an instructor or a dancer that wants to be a "Caller," you'll be able to request a log-in that will have suggested class teaching materials. You'll also be able to suggest calls and patterns with a name that you choose, that will be branded with the WCS Rueda logo.
This part of the website is coming soon!

As a student, you'll be able to request a log-in that will keep you updated when new moves come out, workshop specials, and more!

The moves that are currently online at www.WCSRueda.com are free for viewing for non-students and non-callers. In the future, you'll need your free Student or Caller Log-In to access new calls and step sheets.
