Back from a Rueda congress, new Rueda standards are being installed.
Prima = same as old Adios
a small modification involves open break to start the move (which I have been doing in my partner dancing already)
Prima hermana
same as old Adios con la hermana except with change of partner at the end (after Enchufe on the second bar - thus now making things like Adios con la hermana sentada non-existent?)
Prima tia
same as Prima hermana except an arm-in-arm (R-R) (casate-like) clockwise walkaround is done after the Enchufe on the second bar - apparently there's another change of partner at the end
Prima tia something (tres, cinco, siete, etc)
same as Prima tia except switch to next set of partners (3, 5, or 7 while counting the original partner as 1) - thus arm-in-arm is L-L with the second and other even numbered partners and R-R with the odd numbered partners - I think there must be a change of partner at the end but we didn't do this correctly today
Prima tia something arriba
This involves going back to the original partner using the same arm-in-arm sequence
Patine mujeres
Same as old Patine mujeres except after the initial enchufe, switch to R-R as positions are switched with R-R kept low on 5,6,7 and use L hand on follower's L shoulder to launch follower into the center
Rueda crueda (cross?)
Odd numbered couples start on beat 1, even numbered couples start on beat 5. Odd numbered couples dance only with other odd numbered couples, etc. Dancing on-5 may take some practice - I couldn't do it today.
Unknown name - similar to Dereto except without changing of partners - somewhat like Saluda mujeres as well
1,2,3 move to your arriba follower like Dereto but keep L-R connection with original partner (R hand goes over original partner's head)
5,6,7 complete Guapea with arriba follower and get back to original position (and back with original partner)
Sacala something? - new way of changing partners
1,2,3 Connect R-L with your next partner (optional: follower's have palms up) and walk into the circle and back and raise R-L (exactly like sacala)
5,6,7 lead follower to sacala - end with a hat for the leader
1,2,3,5,6,7 Dile que no
