Panqué pa’ti pa’mi (para ti para mi = for you for me) is a common move in Rueda de Casino. I have done it many times with different callers, often from Cuba. Other names might be used for the move, but Panqué pa’ti pa’mi (pancake dig mig) is a good name that makes sense, and is easy to remember. A
Read moreThe 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
Read morePanque Complicado is a move made by Martín 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 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.

Read moreThe Panqué is the original name used in Cuba. In Miami they change the name to Siete (Seven). The Siete name is almost never used in Cuba.
