Talk:Cuban salsa

Article Rename

This article should be titled Casino and from a Cuban perspective rather than Cuban Salsa and how it is perceived and "marketed" outside of Cuba. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olsonist (talk • contribs) 17:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Article Merge

It seems to me that perhaps this stub should be eliminated, since the referenced page at Rueda de Casino covers the topic in more detail ... just a thought - I'm new here! Nkovrig (talk) 04:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Merging is not appropriate, Casino style salsa is a one-on-one partner dance, while rueda involves a group of at least 2 couples. Also, there is plenty of information about casino style salsa on the Salsa (dance) article...so much, in fact, that most of the information on Casino in that article should be moved here instead.

Cuban salsa is popular outside of Latin America too

This article is awfully Latin American-centric. Cuban salsa is not just popular there, it is also popular in Europe, the Middle East, and even in some places in the United States. I think the article should be revised to reflect that, and be more neutral toward the subject and not be so Latin American-centric. --Rumba y Son (talk) 21:16, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Help!

Hello! I am currently working on this article any tips or advice ? WingedMindSpace (talk) 20:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The opening sentence - "In Cuba, a popular dance known as Casino was marketed abroad as Cuban-style salsa or Salsa Cubana" - would be a good place to start. Saying that in Cuba the dance was marketed as such-and-such abroad makes no sense. ~2025-39465-03 (talk) 17:28, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Contratiempo

The intro here says that Casino is danced 'contratiempo'. There is no source for this, and indeed my own years of experience of dancing, and all of the most popular educational material on the internet, suggests that Casino is danced 'a tiempo'. This is not to say that it can't be danced contratiempo; merely that Casino is nearly always now danced a tiempo, and this is not reflected in the current text. ~2026-81810-7 (talk) 12:49, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
