- Ábaco is a dance created to follow the calls from rueda de casino.
- It is danced inside a rueda, or separate from a rueda with a designated caller.
- Ábaco figures are based on women’s rueda footwork, and easy to follow also for men.
- A partner change in rueda corresponds to a rotation in ábaco (dame una = quarter left turn, dame dos = half left turn, dame una arriba = quarter right turn).
- Ábaco uses various Cuban dance elements, from son, rumba, afrocuban dances, etc.
- Ábaco means abacus, referring to a view from above (like rueda means wheel).
Ábaco is a great alternative for cuban salsa and rueda in times when we cannot dance regular rueda, because of social distancing.
