- The name of the style "Rueda de Casino" derives from the name of the club "Casino Deportivo de la Playa de Marjano - dancehall" in Havana, where in the 50s, during Sunday dancing evenings, first rueda dance sets were created. As the sources say, the way of presenting music was accepted to such a degree that an expression "to dance like those from Casino Playa" started to be commonly used.
