Cuban dancer Saul Perez Valdes is one of the real mentors of Cuban dance tradition in Europe, and an important contributor to our rueda.casino videos. In 1986 Saul started dancing Afro-Cuban and popular dances in the Conjunto Folklórico at the University of Havana.

In 2005 he made the choreography “Soyí,” which was performed at the International Festival of African Roots Weimilere in Cuba. The same year he moved to Sweden and has since then been teaching Afrocuban and Cuban popular dances as well as performing as a dancer and musician.
