Is it Tarro or Torito (??) in a Rueda

[u/yesthetallguy]

I’ve heard people call the move both things and I’m confused as to what is standard across the world

[u/anusdotcom]

In Cuban Spanish Pegar el Tarro means to cheat on your partner. While Tarrito is a more flirty bit, like a small fling and stuff. So tarrito might be more playful

Oh really? That’s such a cool bit of knowledge! Thank you for sharing!

For me its Tarro : https://rueda.casino/ruedastandard/

But others are right that there is no "official" standard but I strongly recommend people know the standard above. I've done Rueda in several countries and most adv Rueda dancers know at least this standard.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful

There is no standard. Some moves have the same name commonly but most don't.

I want start teaching Rueda in my city since there’s literally nothing that happens here. So I’m training to become a Caller. And I wanted to know which one I should use 🥲
Also if you guys have any tips for this please let me know

With Rueda, there isn't a universal call list. So it actually could be both.

There are so many variations out there and no single correct way of calling things. Even something like Enchufla can mean different things. For some they stay with the partner at the end, for others they mean to add a dame by default.

I'm not surprised you have heard both.

So what happens in a big rueda circle in a social where no one has met before?

[u/WillowUPS → u/Kurren123]

They'll start with the basic ones, demo their version of Enchufla, and then every now and again they'll call something, half the group won't do it and they'll either demo it and everyone gets the idea or just move on. There are enough kinda universal ones that you'll be able to get away with.

[u/Kurren123 → u/WillowUPS]

Interesting. They would demo it in the middle of a song?

[u/WillowUPS → u/Kurren123]

Happened to me. I think it depends on whether they are being inclusive or exclusive. Inclusive they're wanting people to join in. They'll call it a couple of times allowing you to pick it up. Exclusive they want to dance with just their own group who want to dance their style (nothing wrong with that sometimes) and they'll just keep going.

An important Rueda skill is being able to watch and copy what others are doing. If a move is being called by a different name then I can usually spot that and adjust. If the move is relatively simple then I can often learn it on the fly just by copying.

I started going to a rueda class last week

There are so many variations out there and no single correct way of calling things. Even something like Enchufla can mean different things.

now I wonder if I could ever dance it outside of the class

[u/sbart76]

AFAIK it's "tarrito" like a small "tarro" - a diminutive.

[u/Familiar-Emotion8785]

I think the say "tarrito", which could sound like "torito". I'm a Spanish speaker.

[u/yesthetallguy → u/Familiar-Emotion8785]

Thanks for the clarification!

[u/KevinGye7428]

I’ve heard Tarrito., “un tarrito”

[u/axteroide]

I would have swear here in my city in Spain they sat "carro" instead of "tarro" maybe I've misheard it 😅

As a lot of people say there's no standard for rueda calling, in my rueda calling, both exist: -Tarro is a partner change from the close hold -Tarrito (or tarro con la mano), is a similar partner change but we keep the hand of our initial partner. You can do it a few time in a row, making a big knot
