Casino dancing is still in its infancy with regards to its growth here in South Florida.
Before Casino consisted of just concentration on the turns, mostly on the male partner. Other styles have influenced its evolvement greatly, women’s styling, less tapping, and more spinning to are being introduced more into Casino-styled salsa. Casino Rueda is more of a social dance, but in its current state its is not as flashy as the NY or LA styles for performance purposes. Cities such as New York have a well developed following with regard to their Latin dance. LA has Hollywood as a backdrop to perpetuate their Salsa dancing followers. Europe has become increasingly developed with regard to Casino Salsa. Nations such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and even Japan have gone on to create their own schools in order to perpetuate this style of Salsa. Cubans have greatly influenced the European continent due to strained political relations between the United States and Cuba.

In five years, Casino-styled salsa will continue to evolve with more steps and combinations, along with other different styles of Salsa being developed. Students desire to learn more and more salsa. The importance of incorporating and learning several styles rather than concentrating on learning one style will be emphasized. Ideas such as creating a “rueda” on 2 have been discussed to intermingle mambo with casino styles together. Factors such as the lack of local spokesperson, cultural, and political differences will continue to interfere with Casino’s evolvement. The emphasis on creating dance teams and congresses will be emphasized in order to showcase these new styles abroad. More cohesiveness and cooperation are still needed between schools and groups.
