A lot of submissions used dancing as in the line but I feel this is had the more unique choices, love the use of the lean

Timothy Muller

Fun stuff! I enjoy your facial expressions on both characters. The one piece of advice I'd like to give you is the teacher's dismount at the end. There isn't enough squash and overlap to make the transition smooth. He rockets from the down position from 345-355, then slows down sharply. It isn't a huge flaw, but very noticeable. A few frames at 312 to have a minor anticipation may have helped as well, but not vital.
I overall enjoyed this animation. Keep making fun stuff!

Clark Sison

The greatest thing ever, love the MJ lean and secondary motion

James Trimm

Kudos! The end posing feels quite in mapping, otherwise, as you clearly intended, the rest is Ott!!:D (great in animation)

This is pretty good! Well done :) My only issue with it is the dancing master's final pose were he holds his hands close together before he claps. I feel like his hands should be doing something else other than just waiting to clap, if that makes sense.

Why use a girl rig when he refers to him as a boy?
