Alan Borges (1947) and Alicia Sardiñas (La Habana, 1951) are founders of the casino dance and the casino wheel. (2) In Cuba salsa is known as casino. This expressive genre is a lively, playful and humorous, and unlike other ballroom dances, it is not oriented towards competition. It is known as a couples dance that fuses a series of turns and figures from the Cuban mambo.

A Note to Remember
Dances such as the contradanzas and Spanish dances, the Quinces parties, the popular and ballroom dances in the 50s and the games at the dances, were probable antecedents that influenced the origin of the casino and its wheel. The possible movements or corridors that emerged could delimit the structure and the corridors of a dance as Cuban as the casino, which for others is also salsa.(2)
