  ARTICULO EN ESPAÑOL DEFINITIONS OF SOCIAL DANCE (Doctrinal Development – MCC 5.0) By: Yoel Marrero Author of the Método del Cuadro del Casino (MCC) The study of Casino Dance, and Cuban social dances in general, requires a prior conceptual clarification: what do we understand by social dance? In common usage, the term “social dance” is often applied broadly and imprecisely to refer to any form of dance performed in non-theatrical or recreational contexts. However, from the perspective of the Método del Cuadro del Casino (MCC), this generalization is insufficient, as it does not allow us to distinguish between forms of practice that differ substantially in their structure, their transmission, and their level of technical development. For this reason, the MCC proposes a typological classification of social dance into three major categories: Empirical social dance, Hybrid social-performative dance, Academically formalized social dance. This classification is not based on taste, but ...

  🇬🇧 What Are the Theoretical Areas That Make Up the MCC? If the Method of the Casino Square (MCC) represents a shift from empirical transmission to structured understanding, then a key question naturally arises: What exactly is the theoretical structure that sustains it? A structured theoretical system The MCC is not an isolated set of ideas, nor a collection of independent concepts. It is a coherent and organized theoretical system , designed to fully characterize the technical, structural, and functional behavior of Cuban social dances. Originally, the MCC was formulated as a body of 21 core theories . However, as its development progressed, its internal structure expanded and refined, allowing us to identify a broader architecture composed of: 21 macro-theories developed into 36 specific theories. Why expand from 21 to 36? The original 21 theories already provided a solid analytical framework. But with deeper development, it became clear that some of those theories contained ...

  🇬🇧 What is the Method of the Casino Square Method (MCC)? If the problem of Casino dance has been, for decades, its empirical transmission and the absence of a clear language to understand it, then the inevitable question is this: what can replace that deficiency? The answer is the Method of the Casino Grid (MCC) . The MCC does not arise from a trend, but from a necessity The MCC did not emerge as a simple teaching proposal, nor as just another stylistic variation within the dance market. It arose from a concrete necessity: the need to structurally understand Casino dance . For a long time, Casino was transmitted as repertoire, as habit, as accumulated imitation. But not as an intelligible system. What was missing was not enthusiasm or practice. What was missing was a tool capable of: observing the dance with precision, describing it clearly, explaining it logically, and teaching it with reproducibility. That is the gap the MCC comes to fill. What the acronym MCC means MCC stan...
