just my speculation, but it looks like that. So to me, it looks like that this development of casino is relatively new and/or happened in some parts of cuba more and some less and partially outside it on congresses. Some other local casino dancers went to Cuba via some established private channels and not on commercial tourism basis and they didn't bring back much rumba and similar elements either. There are only a few cubans in my venue (and a few other non cuban latinos), they are whether 1st generation that came here a few decades ago, or their children, but they all dance similar to MCC, relatively compact casino witho no rumba elements.

I was never to Cuba, but I believe his teaching has some strong background. and he is passionate in the style he likes, which he wants to be white and not black. the fact is, white and black people move different way (just like people from various regions move different way), which is also the reason why we have problems trying to dance like cubans (whether black or white). Well, I'm just trying to understand his way of thinking, although I don't approve dividing people on racial, national etc basis in any way, so I don't like comments like his.
