This chapter examines the evolution of Cuban salsa, better known as “casino,” in Cuba and Miami. Cuban timba music, the effects of cultural tourism on Cuban dance practices, and the way Cuban exiles living in Miami commoditized Cuban dance for a North American context are explored. Aesthetic and technical priorities of casino dancing and its group form, casino rueda, are compared to both L.A.-style salsa and modern New York-style salsa/mambo.

Keywords:   casino rueda, Miami, Cuba, timba, Cuban salsa
