On September 17, 2007 in the Washington Post, Sarah Kaufman wrote an article called "Putting Her Foot Down, " and said: "One made a mental note to circle the dates of the Cuban-inspired DC Casineros' performance...[the group] took animated, imaginative approaches to popular dance forms. The syncopated sounds of salsa are always infectious, but DC Casineros' "Rueda de Casino" style of dancing was also visually tantalizing, as troupe director Amanda Gill chirped out commands for the four couples to change partners, circle and regroup in kaleidoscopic patterns."Books

About me:
DC Casineros is a Cuban Salsa (Rueda de Casino) dance group founded in early March of 2005 in the Adams Morgan nightclub Havana Village. The director is Amanda Gill, a native of the DC Metropolitan area, and the group consists of six couples that represent diverse cultures of the Americas and Africa. In addition to Salsa, we also perform Cuban popular dances like Danzon, Son, and Rumba. Rueda de Casino is a particularly Cuban dance tradition where the couples form a circle (Rueda) and have a set of call and response moves that direct the men in moving and picking up their partners synchronously. It developed in the 1950's in recreational clubs (Casinos) in Havana, but it became popular over the years in the streets of the capital city. Now it is the most popular dance in Cuba, still thriving as an inventive, competitive style. Different dance groups in Havana create their own sets of moves that symbolize essences of their neighborhoods, or barrios. DC Casineros follows in the Cuban tradition by creating our moves based on personal traditions and neighborhood pride. Our dance group offers to the DC area the sabor you would find in the streets and clubs of Havana, with creative dance moves and energy that will engage all types of audiences. We have performed at private parties/ events, community festivals, and nightclub venues.
