When my rueda instructor teaches us moves, she doesn't include any extraneous allardes. However I've seen several advanced casino dancers that style with allardes a lot, and I love it. I've tried to figure out where to put them, but I have only figured out two moves to add it to - Setenta and Sombrero.
For Setenta, after the lock on 123, I add an allarde on 567 as I'm circling around. For Sombrero, after putting the hands over both our heads on 567, instead of releasing her hand from my left, on 8 I take her hand with my left and allarde it to my right shoulder. Then I release it naturally.
Any casino dancers out there have any casino moves they add allardes to?
For non casino dancers, allarde is a hand styling kinda like a hair comb, except the hand is often brought back instead of let go, and they are usually done fast. They kinda go with the pretzel-ly look to casino.
