" MotionOn2 has provided a safe space for me to learn in a fun and challenging way. Teachers Joel and Lucia made sure this is a welcoming and inviting place for all to try out. Dancing is a fantastic outlet for expression and I love the community I’ve been able to be a part of by coming to these classes. I highly recommend the Bachata and Salsa classes to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone and give it a shot."
" It’s been my privilege to take private lessons with Joel for the past two years. Joel is highly trained and very passionate about dancing and teaching. He has been an amazing teacher for me and I look forward to our lessons and my continued progress.
Early on in our working together, I found myself frustrated and about to give up Salsa dancing. I was learning steps and sequences in group classes but I felt like an imposter because I couldn’t seem to get the look and feel of a ”real” salsa dancer. Joel explained that my difficulty in connecting to the dance was because I didn’t understand salsa music itself. He began breaking down the music, the instruments, and the timing for me. He taught me what to listen for and what I was trying to connect to as a dancer. This knowledge has turned my frustration into enjoyment as I continue to improve my salsa dancing ability..."
" Lucia and Joel both really care about your growth and development as a dancer, pay attention to detail and keep a fun/safe learning environment. I take bachata and On2 salsa classes with them. I highly recommend this dance school if you are a complete beginner or if you have dance experience. MO2 is the best deal in town for sure! 🔥🪩🔥"
