In a collaborative effort to best serve our community, the teachers and BBCC are trying to find creative ways to make classes affordable for you while staying afloat in hopes to be able to keep our doors open when this all passes. Considering most people’s financial struggles, we realize that $18/class may be too much so we are hoping this is a better option
.
Unlimited monthly online classes for $99 with @heart.dancer @aninhamalandro @rachelhernandezdance @cardiocarnivale @kahlilc33 @_.ash.e_
.
24 classes a month for $99
.
We will continue to offer the drop in option and if you currently have a package, you can continue to use it
.
We will create and include monthly members on a private BBCC_online group/account on IG and FB for those of you who prefer to use those mediums and will also still be offering it on Zoom.
.
Regarding the sound, we are still working on the sound for live drumming classes but we are getting closer to better sound quality thanks to all the time and effort the teachers putting in
.
If you are interested in this option, please Venmo @brasilbrasilcc or PayPal using [email protected]
.
You can also email [email protected] to give us your payment information
.
We hope this helps a bit and as always, we thank you deeply for all the support we are all feeling from our community
.
Praying for everyone’s safety and health and really hoping to see you all on our dance floor again
