In Rueda de Casino, the command “Gordo” signals dancers to gradually expand the circle. This widening occurs smoothly as part of the basic step Guapea, with the dancers extending their steps outward on beats 5, 6, and 7. The purpose of Gordo is to evenly increase the space between couples, ensuring a comfortable distance for moves and partner changes. This balanced expansion allows the rueda to regain its ideal formation and maintain fluidity in the dance.
