This place is deserving of it's glowing reviews…read more I signed up for a Friday evening Beginner's hip hop class with Ryan who was covering for Rob that day. As someone with zero dance experience, I found the pace of the class too quick and had a hard time keeping up, but that's not anyone's fault. If you have two left feet like me, it can feel intimidating and honestly, discouraging because all the students are great dancers (seriously, have you seen the class videos?), but as Ryan said..practice makes perfect and you just have to keep at it. Despite the nerves, I'd come again because the classes would be a great way to get out of your comfort zone (if you're not a dancer and/or have stage fright) and build confidence. I also recommend dragging a friend to go with you if it's your first time. For you first timers, the building is right to Taco Bell (burritos after class, anyone? Haha) and staples is on the corner of the same block. classes are on the 4th floor. When you get into the building, show your ID to the front desk and they'll give you elevator access. Classes are on the 4th floor and you don't need to check in with them at the front desk. Once the class begins, the receptionist in your studio will check you in. There's a changing room and you leave your belongings in the studio. As for dress code, wear athleisure or something comfortable. I saw jeggings, shorts, tanks, leggings, and sweats. I'm not sure if all the classes are like this so don't take my word for it, but it begins with a 15-20 minute warmup, followed by 45-60 minutes of learning choreography, and ending with 10-15 minutes of "groups" where students are split up to have more room, followed by the opportunity to get your groove on with an even smaller group. Each group goes twice--once with the instructor guiding you, the second time without. You'll also be shuffling to different ends of the room so you can get closer if you need to. Also, each instructor chooses what they're teaching so you don't know the song choice beforehand. Now onto the actual class..Ryan is a great instructor. He breaks down all the steps clearly and at a reasonable pace. He'll repeat them as many times as you need. Again, I struggled because I take longer to learn, but despite that, I enjoyed the class. The room is small for a class with about 40 people but the high energy and positive vibes you'll get more than make up for it. Overall, I'd go again. FYI, If the class is full, you get put on the waitlist (max of up to 10 people can be on this list) and you'll be added to the class as people drop out. If you haven't heard by 11am the next day via email (cut off time to drop a class before late cancellation penalty), you can use that credit towards a different time unless you want to continue waiting to see if the class frees up.

I was recommended this by a friend of a friend after he learned I was trying to learn hip hop. The…read morewebsite is really easy to navigate and to register for classes online. There is also a list of scheduled classes so you can see the instructor that is teaching each class. One of the things that I really like about the hip hop classes is how much repetition is utilized to learn a choreographed routine. As a dancer of many years, 50% of the battle is memory and repetition of each mini-sequence really helps a new dancer solidfy not only the choreography but also master the details of the steps. All the instructors are extremely friendly and approachable, not necessarily so at other places. Not to mention, they do have their own different styles to accommodate different dancers' personalities. Check-in is always a smooth process with HoM staff. All the dancers that attend are super supportive and really nice as well. Nobody ever judges. I wish HoM was out here in the Bay now that I've moved. I've come to love my HoM family in my short time living in NYC. They've only added to the love that I now have for NY.

My friends and I had an incredible time at this dance studio. We were a group of friends visiting…read moreour one local friend who comes here every week. They asked if we could join them at this intro to West Coast Swing class before the actual social dance itself. We all signed up and even those who hate dancing had a good time. It was very beginner friendly. Like most social dance intro classes, we were separated into a group of leaders and a group of followers. Our instructors lead us through different steps and movements. As a follower, it was easy to just follow the different leaders' guidance. In this class, they also really leaned into talking with your dance partner. We did some quick icebreakers with new partners before dancing. It was never too awkward because we would switch to a new partner pretty frequently. Because we came with our local friend, it wasn't too tough to find the studio. We entered a building and took the elevator to the dance studio. I highly recommend checking out Danznik Studios if you're interested in learning West Coast Swing.

I just took my first salsa class here at Dance on 2. I did the Beginner 1 combo. Can I please say I…read moreloved it?! I'm a person who usually can't dance, don't dance, and have two left feet. First, the class is divided by gender, Jai Catalano taught the guys and Dayana Martinez led the girls. We learn the basics, footwork, turning, and so forth. Then after a five minute break, we partnered up. I was so nervous about partnering with someone, because I kept on messing up on my footwork in the beginning of the class. I absolutely did not have confidence in myself. I thought " Great! First class, already fallen behind. If I can't keep up with the basics then how can I dance with another person?" I went up to Jai and Dayana about it. They told me it was normal to feel this way, and that there were a few other first timers there as well. Most of the people in the class have been attending for a few weeks now, but they started out the same way. They both believed I could do it. There is such a huge difference between copying what the instructor is doing vs. dancing with a partner and having someone lead you. This review might sound naive, but it's because I've never had to dance with anyone before. What I really appreciated was that when I was having a difficulty with something or they noticed a wrong footing, they were quick to teach me side by side. I also loved how by dancing with someone, we were learning from each other and getting it through together. After an hour into the class, subconsciously it was like my feet knew what to do next. I wasn't looking down anymore, but actually looking at my partners' faces. One of them was even surprised to find out this was my first time! Under Jai and Dayana's guidance and instructions, we even got a little intricate too with all these turn patterns, and we were all getting better and better with each repetition. I totally recommend learning how to salsa at Dance on 2. It was such a comfortable atmosphere based on learning and having fun. Can't wait to go next week!

Dance on 2 is run and organized by Melanie Torres, the daughter of Eddie Torres the Mambo King…read morehimself. Here she teaches, along with her dance co-instructors, salsa including shines, partnerwork and advance styling, etc... She runs a number of classes at different levels starting at absolute beginner up to very advanced so there is definitely something you can get out of one of her classes. You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish in one hour as I've seen plenty of two-left feet beginners come in and leave after a class with confidence and a few good moves for the dance floor. Be aware though that these classes are challenging and that you should be reasonably fit, at least fit enough to do an hour long aerobics class. Plus, bring a bottle of water and a notebook because you'll cover so many different moves and combinations that you're bound to forget a few things. So, if you've ever watched someone salsa and thought to yourself that you would really love to do that then come take a class with Melanie, its not expensive, nobody is judgmental and you'd be surprised to see what you can learn in a short period of time.
