| Thursday | Closed practice: You need to be on our “guest list” to participate, for which we have a waiting list. If you would like to attend, please make sure you are on our mailing list, and email us with your full name, home address and phone number. Please do so in advance, as the procedure unfortunately takes more than a day or two. You will be informed once you can start attending practices.
7:30-8:30pm Int/Adv, by invitation only, based on level and commitment. Contact Tal if you’d like to participate. 8:30-9:30pm Beg and Adv Beg. Open to everyone, but you have to be on the guest list in order to attend. |

As you can see above, only the WEDNESDAY class is currently open to newcomers to Boston Rueda. All others are by invitation only. However, if you’d just like to try out Rueda, the best option is our monthly socials (which are open to everyone).
