The basic structure of Rueda is the circle. Innovative choreographers have looked for ways to add variety by tweaking the 4-couple circle:
- Linea Moderna … stretching the circle into a line
- Pa’Fuera … turning the circle “inside out”
- Mixta … 2 couples normal orientation, 2 a’fuera
- Torno … dancing “on the spokes”
- Torno Mixta … combine two other structures
- Echo & Contrario … sub-divide into 2 groups
