The rehearsal will be on Saturday September 30th in the La Piragua square, in it Havana boardwalk. They will have support from the Ministry of Culture, the National Council of Houses of Culture and the government of the Plaza de la Revolución municipality.
In addition to the gigantic casino wheel in the Cuban capital, there will be a network of dancers performing in different cities across the country.
He Guinness record for the largest Casino Wheel in the world has it Venezuela. In January 2023, this achievement was recognized after he had people dancing in Caracas. 1,585 people, in a choreography synchronized with salsa music.
The Venezuelan organization Returning to the Son "Bailando Casino" made its official presentation on November 27, 2022 and took the precious title.
