AREQUIPA, Peru – La Piragua and its recreational area, on the Malecón in Havana, will be the scene of a new rehearsal next Sunday for the dancers joining the Retomando el Son Bailando Casino project.
The test is part of the preparation that will allow the group to break a world and national record, thus achieving two feats: the largest number of people dancing in Ruedas de Casino simultaneously and the largest number of Ruedas de Casino dancing at the same time, actions in tribute to National Son Day.
A statement from the National Council of Houses of Culture, cited by the Prensa Latina agency, points out that Cuban musical and dance history shows the roots of popular dances as a symbol of the most authentic cultural values of the Island.
“The casino dance occupies a privileged place within this artistic universe, being one of the noblest genres and with the highest level of participation in the different social strata,” the text indicates.
The Project Retaking the Son Bailando Casino, world record holder in 2022 in Venezuela, and in coordination with the Ministry of Culture and other Cuban institutions proposed the creation of a national and world record of Casino Wheels, titled World Record of Cuban Popular and Sports Dances .
The project aspires to resume, rescue and defend this dance, so deeply rooted in popular culture that, according to experts, “it unites wills, engenders empathy, discipline, a sense of belonging, as well as joy and optimism.”
“The casino dancer glimpses solutions beyond adversity, infecting everyone with his magical rhythm, challenging destiny always to the beat of the Son,” the call states.
As part of the initiative, thousands of people will dance this Sunday to the rhythm of Cuban music in Havana and other territories of the country.
