The Ruedastandard and related lists of Rueda figures have been updated several times, mainly to keep them relevant.
These are the figures removed from the list (since 2002):

CommandActionWhenReason
el ceroChanged2017The version previously called el cero is now called cero con giro – because we learned that another version of cero is more common among the Cubans, and we now use this new version for cero.
