  • Adjusted Pricing for Small Classes: In instances of less than five participants, BDNJ may adjust the pricing. The class cost will be divided equally among participating dancers to ensure fairness and class continuity.

  • Participant Agreement: By enrolling in our group classes, participants acknowledge the potential for class cancellation or price adjustment due to low enrollment. BDNJ maintains transparency and timely communication regarding any changes.
