About 12 people met at Newhall Park in the city of Newhall near Santa Clarita this morning. That's right, these dancers got right out there in the open to learn and dance a type of salsa called casino rueda.
(Rueda means "wheel" in Spanish, which describes why they dance and rotate in a circle.... They switch partners. Just think of it like a salsa square dance.)
Anyways, they're part of this group called Rueda in the Park. R.I.T.P. meets at Newhall Park every first and third Sunday of the month.
The group is about a year and two months old. It's a tangent of the original group, which meets at Griffith Park every second and fourth Sunday. There's also a group that meets in Bellflower. So, wherever you're at in L.A. County, you're not too far away from one.
Here's a glimpse at what I saw today...
