RuedX: (short for Rueda Exchange) is an event where rueda groups from different cities are invited for a series of workshops taught by instructors from those groups. They are a fun way to share our knowledge passion for Rueda, to travel, dance, and make new friends, to strengthen the Rueda community and to keep rueda de casino alive.
HISTORY (from Ethan Wagner, in NY): 'The Rueda Exchange idea was first started in 2016 after kicking the concept around for a little while. With so many talented groups around the world developing new, fun, and challenging ideas in the way they dance rueda de casino, we realized there’s a lot we can learn from each other. Before, however, we didn’t get too many opportunities to meet other casineros and take advantage of this collective knowledge. RUEDX:, then, is an event that brings together a bunch of us who are passionate about rueda for a weekend to dance, laugh, share ideas, discuss what we’ve been working on.'
Based on that concept, this will be the first UK-focused RuedX, to help to bring together the rueda community in the UK.
We will have a compact group of people (around 15 couples) that will spend the weekend together exchanging ideas and rueda concepts :)
