Dancers Extraordinaire

Dancers Extraordinaire was established in 1995 with the goal of providing dance classes to the general public in various styles. Over the years, our classes and experienced staff have expanded to include most forms of dance and exercise for all ages and experience levels. Our mission is to ensure that our students have an enjoyable experience while learning the art of dance.

Our studio's philosophy is that although imitation is a primary learning method, we encourage our young dancers to create and absorb. Many of the exercises act as introductions and preparations for more complex dance movements, and our experienced staff is dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. Dancers Extraordinaire hosts dance socials generally on the third Friday of each month, providing opportunities for students to practice their skills and enjoy the company of others who share their passion for dance.

Group & Private Lessons

At Dancers Extraordinaire, we offer both group and private lessons in various dance styles, including ballroom, Latin, and swing. Group classes are scheduled throughout the year, and private lessons can be scheduled during the day and in the evenings.

Group classes in ballroom dance will teach you how to be whisked around the dance floor, or learn how to be the whisker! Lessons may consist of Waltz, Foxtrot, or Tango. Our Latin dance classes will get you feeling that Latin beat, with lessons in Rumba, Cha-Cha, Mambo/Salsa, Merengue, Samba, and Bolero. Our swing classes are perfect for those who love to dance to oldies from the 50's, The Big Band Era, and even music of today.

Private lessons can be customized to your specific needs and goals, and our experienced instructors will work with you to ensure that you are getting the most out of each lesson. Private lessons can be a great way to focus on specific dance moves or techniques, or to prepare for a special event.

Wedding Dance & Private Lessons

At Dancers Extraordinaire, we understand that your wedding dance is a special moment that you will cherish forever. We offer private lessons to help you make your first dance together as casual or dramatic as you wish. We can choreograph a routine to your song or simply teach you the basics to feel comfortable on the dance floor.

The amount of time spent on a wedding dance will depend on the complexity of the routine and the level of experience of the couple. We suggest allowing enough lessons to become comfortable with the dance you have just learned, and choreographed routines will take more time depending on their complexity. Generally, it takes anywhere from 5-6 lessons to learn a routine and perhaps another lesson or two to polish it.

In addition to wedding dance lessons, we also offer private lessons for honors dances, such as the Mother/Son or Father/Daughter dance. We recommend 3 private lessons for the honors dances.

When planning for your wedding dance, it is important to consider a few tips. First, do not wait until the last minute to schedule your lessons. As your wedding day approaches, the schedule will become very hectic. We recommend starting at least 4-6 months before your wedding day to allow time to practice, especially if you are newcomers to dance.

Consistency is also important when it comes to private lessons. The more you come in, the less review there will be on each lesson. Additionally, using the group classes and dance practice/parties when possible can help you feel more comfortable and confident on the dance floor.

At Dancers Extraordinaire, we are dedicated to providing high-quality dance instruction in a fun and welcoming environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, we have a class that is perfect for you. Contact us today to learn more about our classes and private lessons.
