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.

Before introducing her to this dance studio she was only active by force or when the environment called for it.

My hopes in the near future as far as marketing goes is that for the dedicated & loyal students who participate weekly at Lotus that their should be a "rotate" on "the faces" allowing each child of different age groups to perhaps represent and or showcase not only their talents but their photography skills on Lotuses flyers, websites and/or Social Media platforms this will not ONLY show fairness but appreciation to the child & parents who make an effort to keep their child a part of this growing family...I'll be back with an updated review in the meantime if your child loves dance and you want more energy and confidence from them check out Lotus Creations

Wow, Gail is a champion and a gem of a dance teacher in the city! Let's dive in:…read more Affordability (5/5): We paid a little under $100/private class and it was 100% worthwhile. (We did four classes total.) Gail takes the time to choreograph the dance too which is not always a given with private dance lessons. Patience (5/5): Truly one of the most patient instructors we have come across. Took the time to teach each section slowly and accurately. We learned our dance in three sessions and Gail was pivotal in making this happen. In the final session she helped polish some areas to help elevate the dance to another level! Quality (5/5): Our big day to showcase the dance hasn't yet arrived, but those who have seen the dance love it (that includes us too)! TL;DR: Cannot recommend someone better to help with your wedding -- or other big day -- dance! Gail for the win!

My wife and I can't say enough good things about NY Wedding Dance…read more We worked with our instructor Stine to choreograph the first dance of our choice, and it was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly helpful in walking us through the moves (even when we were starting from VERY little experience) and incorporating our feedback on stuff we'd hoped to include in our first dance. She was both educational and fun, and created a very supportive learning environment. We've since advised a few other couples to check this place out, and to our knowledge, they've all had great things to say, too. So much of wedding planning is an annoying slog that you have to keep some of it exciting and fun, and our sessions with NY Wedding Dance definitely were some of the best highlights of wedding prep in that regard. We also need to give a special shout-out to Stine and Gail (the owner) for making the COVID wedding experience such a smooth one. When we cancelled our original wedding date in May 2020, Gail reached out to check in on how we were doing and was super flexible on the timings of our scheduled appointments, which meant so much in terms of a personal touch at a stressful time. She also reached out on our original wedding date, which we were both super impressed by as one of the most thoughtful gestures we encountered from our wedding vendors. Weddings are crazy right now. If you're like us, you need something to keep the process chill and enjoyable and romantic, and you probably want to work with people who are flexible and compassionate and invested in their couples. For all of those reasons, NY Wedding Dance excels. Can very earnestly not heap enough praise on this wonderful crew -- go with them, and it'll be the best part of your wedding planning process!

They are violating protocols with cancel culture, and no specific provable accusations. Being "negative" when we are free to be any way and I don't know what that means and who if anyone complained, is BS. No apology for being contacted on a Sunday is the same. I am glad to be able to take lessons all over the world in environments not full of BS cancel culture like this one. Thanks for saving me from an environment not up to par to who I am and integrity, at least involving a few in power, since I cannot speak for everyone there and have had some great times there with many and various people. Thankfully, I saved money and watched a better show, the Country Musis Awards. Wonderful artists and amazing lyrics

This was a spur-of-the-moment activity, but a friend of mine wanted to try a ballet class to see if…read moreshe might get back into dance as a hobby. Another friend had taken classes at this academy before and highly recommended it, so the three of us booked an Introduction to Ballet class on Sunday at 12:00. Check-in was quick and easy. The class was $25 for an hour and a half, which I think is very reasonable considering it's from an actual ballet school. There's no strict dress code, which worked out well since none of us owned ballet attire -- we just wore regular workout clothes and socks, and it was perfectly fine. The instructor was wonderful. She started by asking who had never taken ballet before, then positioned the newer students between people with experience so it would be easier to follow along. I really appreciated that, as I have no dance background and definitely found myself lost more than once. Having people around me to follow made it much less intimidating. The class itself was energetic and fun. The instructor was patient, encouraging, and made sure to keep things approachable for beginners. I'm sure my form was atrocious and I messed up plenty of times, but nobody cared -- the atmosphere was supportive and welcoming, and everyone was just there to enjoy themselves and keep trying. The class had people of all different skill levels and abilities, and it felt very inclusive. Overall, this was a great introduction class, especially for someone nervous about trying something new. I never once felt self-conscious, and I genuinely had fun. I'd highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to take dance classes, whether you have experience or not. If I were interested in pursuing ballet, I would definitely come back.
