  DC Casineros is an amazing performing dance company! They perform around Washington, D.C. at special events, festivals and compete and all over the world! I've taken classes with them in the past at the dance studios and recently went to one of their monthly dance socials and had a blast. ...
  
  At the social, there was a DJ, dance performances including DC Casineros and a second local Casino group, water and soda for purchase. They also did a segment to get the whole crowd involved so it was very interactive. I saw small ruedas and about the largest rueda I've ever seen, with a smaller rueda in the middle so everyone could fit. Very cool to watch or participate.
  
  Amanda and Adrian are both the directors of the group. Not only are they amazing dancers and patient teachers, but they do an outstanding job educating people about the Casino dance style and rich culture from Cuba. The entire group is a lot of fun to watch.
  
  Go an check out their next dance performance, try a class or go to a monthly social!

  Last week I had the privilege to travel to Cuba with @dccasineros, a DC-based non-profit that aims to build healthy communities through the art and culture of Cuban dance. Cuba is SO MUCH MORE than Havana, classic cars, and urban decay. From music to art to dance, its culture is beautiful, DIVERSE, and very much alive, BUT it's definitely a place where you need the right connections. DC Casineros have those deep relationships in the country, and this trip provided an incredibly rich and one-of-a-kind cultural exchange. I can't think of any better way to experience Cuba for the first time. If you live in DC and are thinking about going to Cuba, check them out first!!

  Allow me to extend my deep congratulations to DC Casineros on their 10 year dance journey. Their impact upon the DC community has been tremendous and has brought various cultures closer. It is indeed a great sight to see dancers from all corners of the world engaging in CASINO enjoying themselves in a very friendly and harmonious environment. To Adrian, Halima, Amanda, Willie and the rest of the combo CONGRATULATIONS. All of you have become Ambassador of Casino,,,GUIRO!!!!!!

  Since I started taking classes with DC Casineros Dance Company, I have started enjoying dancing again after years! I love the the instructor's way of teaching, the ambience, and the positive energy that we get in each class. I also love to see them performing! I have been following them for years. I hope they continue to be around for years to come.

  Excellent group!! They'll have you dancing Salsa Casino in the blink of an eye. Awesome parties, and they're great ambassadors of the Cuban culture. IF you are in DC you need to be with DC Casineros, if you are anywhere else in the world you need to bring them to your town!!!
