Who teaches here
Meet your instructor.
Every class at 207 Johnson Ave is taught by someone who dances this style on New York floors, not just in a studio.
Instructors
Jacob teaches both weekly classes today. As the studio grows, additional instructors will appear on this page.
In the room
Inside a class
Forty-five seconds of an actual class — the room, the level, and the people in it.
Filmed at the studio. Video loads only when you press play.
How the classes are built
What every class covers
The same six things, in different proportions depending on the room.
Timing
Finding the 2 inside the music, so you are dancing to the song and not to a number in your head. This is the part that makes On2 feel different.
Footwork
The basic step and the patterns built on it — drilled until your feet stop asking permission.
Partnerwork
Leading and following as a physical conversation: clear signals, and the ability to read them.
Musicality
Knowing when to move and when to wait. Breaking on the 2 sits you inside the percussion, which is why Mambo reads as conversation with the band rather than decoration on top of it.
Connection
The frame and contact that let two people who have never met dance together immediately.
Social confidence
The practical goal: walking into a New York social, asking someone to dance, and enjoying it.
