SRSC forwards following message from Barbara Bernstein:

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPONSOR AND PARTICIPATE IN A MOVIE ABOUT RUEDA DE CASINO AND SHARE YOUR PASSION WITH THE WORLD?

Rueda teachers Sarita Streng of Albuquerque and Eric Johnson of San Diego have shot footage in Cuba for a documentary about Rueda de Casino. The film will star a top Rueda group, explain the history of the dance, and celebrate the beauty of this dance form.

Below is a link for a video clip of a trailer for the movie
(comment by SRSC: they do not smile – does not look like fun):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJVe0rrMFKY

They are also planning a short epilogue produced by Barbara Bernstein, which will document Rueda de Casino’s many manifestations in the world today.

They need your/our help. Here’s how:

1. SUPPORT A SPONSORSHIP DRIVE

We have all the footage for the film. We need funds to pay for the music rights, final editing, and legal fees. We are looking for dancers, dance teachers and friends of Rueda who are willing to ask others to become financial sponsors. In appreciation for supporting the film with a minimum donation of $10, each sponsor will receive an original “I Love Rueda de Casino” bumper sticker. Groups raising $300 or above will be mentioned in the credits with your group name and possibly a group photo.

We need $28,000 to finish the film. Imagine $10,000 coming from the grass-roots efforts of the world-wide Rueda community.

Would you consider taking a sponsorship packet? Each packet will contain 25 stickers and a return envelope. Donations are tax-deductible. For more information, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 505-899-7863.

2. Provide information, videos and photos that may be used in a short epilogue
We are asking Rueda dancers around the world to tell us about the variety of places they have danced Rueda and anything they have done with the dance form that is particularly interesting.

Example: Some Casineros in NYC planned to protest a radio station that wasn’t playing enough timba by having Rueda dancers encircle the building and dance around it. (comment by SRSC: there must be nicer examples dancing Rueda than protesting)

For more information, contact Rueda Epilogue Producer Barbara Bernstein at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
(say you saw it from ‘Salsa Rueda Santa Cruz’ in Santa Cruz, CA on the Cruzy.org website).

THANK YOU/MIL GRACIAS for your consideration.
