The Panqué con Chocolate is a so-called fun move for Rueda de Casino. I have done it in Rueda de Casino many times with different callers, often from Cuba. The move is rather well-known. The move is exactly the same as Panqué pa’ti pa’mi except that the ending, the para mi part has a “naughty” twist. Panqué con chocolate begins

The Siete/Panqué move, Panqué tres tiempos (“Pancake three steps”), is a move I have experienced in Rueda de Casino many times with different callers, and they use different names for the move. I prefer the name “Panqué tres tiempos” because it reminds us that the move starts with Siete/Panqué, and that we walk forward and back three steps. The move
Read morePanque Complicado is a move made by MartÃn Ruedero. He was lucky that the complicado name way free to use except that we have a move called Siete Complicado. And since Siete = Panqué, I have called his move Panqué Complicado de Martin. Only one video found. Just like Siete Unisex Complicado, the Panqué Complicado move is not a typical
Read moreThe Spaghetti is an excellent move with a bad name. Not a typical Complicado but much better: An advanced, elegant and demanding move. It is attributed to Maykel Almuina from the Salsa Lovers DVD: We really don’t need another version of the Spaghetti move, but it is always good to see another interpretation, this time from “Media Noche Salsa”:
Read moreEl Suave (The Soft) is an elegant move attributed to Maykel Almuina from the Salsa Lovers DVD, and it really is “Maykel” style. It is not a typical Cuban Salsa move. It is nice when dancers try something a little different. Get inspired or let it go. I like the “softness” of the myatushi55 version of “The Soft” move (El
Read moreLa Cuadra has different meanings like block, stable, barracks. I am not sure of what translation makes most sense for a name of a move. The La Cuadra move is a typical complicado with several elements we know from other complicados. There are surprisingly many videos out there, so it must be quite popular. La Cuadra comes with two alternative

The move El Atrevido means “The Daring”. The move is similar to Siete con Coca-Cola (Miami style) but it is a very special Coca-Cola left turn. The Follow is turned left by her left hip and her right shoulder! Siete con Coca-Cola is an unleadable move that should never be used. El Atrevido is leadable but it takes a strong
Read moreThe “Three Way Stop” is a good move for training because the Lead really must be up to the task to get it going. We don’t have many formalized moves using this technique of turning the Follow by her shoulders. It is a great technique in social dancing and ought to be in the toolbox of any advanced Lead. We

Alborotado means “Exited” in English. It is from the “Salsa Lovers” DVD 07, Miami, USA, around year 2005 and uploaded to YouTube much later. Maykel Almuina, the Lead in the video, is the creator of all the moves on “DVD 07”. Siete Alborotado is one of Maykel’s more interesting moves. It opens like Siete Loco and Siete Loco Complicado! That
Read moreMagniv is Hebrew meaning “extremely cool”. And so it is. Siete Magniv is my favorite of the easier moves starting with Siete. The video from “Dolce Dance” in Hungary deserves to be shown first. It is cute. Note that Lead and Follow change hands at the start, and that most of the move is two handed: Same video at YouTube:
