This performance is by "Grupo America," which is based in Vancouver, Canada. Their dance troupe performs a wide variety of dances from Latin cultures, including this spectacular Cuban-based dance.
Rueda is a form of Salsa dancing that involves multiple couples dancing in a circle (usually) and frequently switching partners. The club/social form involves one "caller" who calls out moves at random, and the participants are expected to know how to execute them. This clip is obviously a choreographed performance, containing many intricate but well-executed moves.
Rueda dancing is sometimes called "Casino Rueda" or "Rueda de Casino" or "Salsa Rueda" -- but they all refer to the same thing.
For more information about the performance group, you can go to www.grupoamerica.net
The song used in the clip is "Habanera" by Asere, which is a Cuban musical group. (Thanks for the help, Erika!)

Very good!! I like it!
Guys you should come and perform at the International Rueda de Casino competition next June 24, 2011 at the Cuban salsa festival DiasCubanos 2011 in Holland. I know that it is a long way but think about it.
Keep up the job work!
