Rueda at the Park
For those not in the know, Rueda at the Park is New York’s longest running Cuban dance party! Playing a mix of all the greatest Cuban bops and bangers — timba, son, reparto, bolero, rumba, mambo, chachacha, changui, and more — we throw a totally free open-air dance party right in the heart of Central Park at Bethesda Fountain and Terrace.
New York’s community for Rueda and all who love Afro-Cuban dance and music.
The event always starts off with TWO free lessons in rueda de casino, one for newbies and one for rueda vets, followed by a few glorious hours of uninterrupted music so you can dance with a group, with a partner, with yourself, or with anyone you feel like! We’ll sprinkle in some animaciones and mini-lessons here and there to expand your knowledge and maximize your enjoyment 🙂
Ethan Wagner is a passionate fan of Rueda de Casino. He has launched many rueda-inspired events and hosts the popular Rueda at the Park Social.
Tell your friends, family, parole officers, catfishing targets, and everyone you know–see you at 5pm in the park!!!
Meet us at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park!
