Formed less than a year ago, this Chicas group was inspired by seeing women only ruedas in Vancouver, in past years, and in San Francisco.   With all that enthusiasm Usukuma asked one of his rueda teachers to start up an all female rueda out of Salsaddiction Dance Co (SA).   The dancers include experienced and new members of Salsaddiction's full performing team.  They have trained in their homes and after main practices for the last 8 months and did their first performance Valentine's Day at Edmonton's "On The Rocks" salsa nightclub!   Chicas now look forward to doing their routine at a festival of the standard Vancouver has set.  As Alberta's first all female performing rueda group they hope to gain more skills in the workshops and enjoy dancing with many casineros at the 2010 Vancouver Rueda Festival !
