DC Casineros is a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization whose mission is to build communities through the art and culture of Cuban dance. DC Casineros specializes in performing complex, flavorful and energetic choreographies based on Cuban popular and social dances such as Casino, Son, Danzon, Rumba, Comparsa and at times, Afrocuban dances, while using and promoting the most current urban musical sounds from the island. DC Casineros also teaches Casino and Rueda de Casino classes based on the most current methodology of Cuban dance, which emphasizes technique, elegance, musicality and body isolations, while using dynamic moves and interactive exercises.
DC Casineros have performed and taught locally, nationally and internationally, at prestigious and popular venues, conferences and congresses including the Kennedy Center, Smithsonian, Wolf Trap, DC Salsa Congress: San Francisco, New York, Miami and Atlanta Rueda Congresses, Nicaragua Salsa Congress, Benin Salsa Congress in West Africa and Stochkhom Cuban Dance Festival in Sweden. They also travel to Cuba once a year to train, perform and collaborate with the prestigious Rueda All Stars in Santiago, Cuba.
Their teaching methodology and practice is based and modeled after the International Foundation “Casino Para Todos” curriculum. For information about performances, private classes, team-building and school / workplace presentations, please visit: dccasineros.org
