About Ritmos Latinos UofA Dancing location
Ritmos Latinos is a student organization and salsa dance club at the University of Arizona that promotes Latin music and dance among U of A students and Tucson salsa enthusiasts. The club provides a setting for people to learn Cuban-style salsa, connect with other dancers, and take part in dance and music-related activities at the university and in the surrounding Tucson community. Its central focus is Rueda de Casino, a form of Cuban-style salsa dancing taught through the club's classes.
The organization describes its classes and activities as taking place in a fun and friendly environment. Along with learning dance, participants have opportunities to make friends and connect with University of Arizona and Tucson community dancers. The club's website is also used to promote dance and music-related activities happening at the university or in the community, extending its role beyond regular instruction.
Rueda de Casino is a particular specialty of Ritmos Latinos. The club's materials direct visitors to additional information about Rueda de Casino combinations, while the organization's governing documents identify dance classes, music, and performances as central activities. Officers and instructors coordinate class locations, times, and instruction, and the music coordinator is responsible for making sure instructional salsa music is available during classes. Members may also be organized for performances, with the performance coordinator handling performance activities and recruitment.
Ritmos Latinos operates as a not-for-profit student organization at the University of Arizona. Its stated objectives include promoting interest in Latino music and dance among the cultures of the university community, providing fellowship among students and faculty, representing student needs and interests related to Latino music and dance, and offering a forum for ideas that benefit the university community. The organization also states that it does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, Vietnam Era veteran status, or related categories, and that it does not engage in hazing.
University of Arizona students are eligible to become active members and may hold office. Nonstudents may participate as associate members, although they may not vote or hold office. The organization requires active and associate members to pay a membership due each semester, with the amount determined by the officers, while dues are waived for officers and regular instructors. Participation in dance classes is limited to active and associate members, but students, faculty, and university representatives who are not members may observe. People interested in joining or following the club can begin through the Ritmos Latinos website, calendar, mailing list, or social media pages, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
