My husband and I took wedding dance lessons at Xtreme Rhythm in Wantagh, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.
Jessica was absolutely amazing—so patient, knowledgeabl...
e, and encouraging every step of the way. She really took the time to understand our vision for the dance and gave us fantastic ideas that perfectly fit our song and the overall flow of our wedding.
She also showed us how to include little pauses and moments that would look beautiful in photos, which was such a thoughtful touch we never would have thought of ourselves. Honestly, without Jessica, our first dance would have looked like two penguins just waddling around!
Thanks to her, we feel confident and excited to share this special moment with our guests. If you’re considering dance lessons for your wedding, I can’t recommend Xtreme Rhythm and Jessica enough.

e. She worked with us for several months to make sure our dance was not only perfect, but perfectly ours. She became more than our dance teacher — or wedding vendor — but someone who we genuinely looked forward to seeing every class. She is talented beyond compare and such an infectious light. We are actually sad to no longer be taking classes — something I never thought either one of us would say!

Thank you XR dance for the favorite part of our wedding reception! I still look back on our first dance and have a beaming smile because it was just so darn fun and special!
What ...
makes XR different is the fully personalized approach. Transparently, neither of us were dancers, so we knew we wanted a plan going into it. Jess is not only knowledgeable, but relatable so you feel comfortable asking questions and figuring out your groove. We did the song “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing and she helped us figured out (over only 4 lessons!) how to loosely choreograph something that felt like us. Bonus—we bought a five pack which let me and my Dad take a lesson. This let us shake out the nerves and get some moves so on the big day we could focus on how special the moment really was.
And for my Type A/stressed Brides, I really appreciated Jess’ flexibility. She had ample availability and was able to book us out in advance and make slight adjustments which made all the difference in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Some of our friends took 10-12 lessons and said they felt our dance was so much better than theirs so absolutely recommend connecting with XR!

rofessionalism, attentiveness, charisma & passion are second to none, and she truly made this an unforgettable experience for my wife & me. She’s undoubtedly one of the the best (if not THE BEST) at what she does, and we HIGHLY recommend Xtreme Rhythm Dance Academy ten out of ten times!

or her guidance and expertise! From the very start, she made us feel completely comfortable - even while making (many) mistakes!
Jessica met with us numerous times, taking the time to ensure we felt confident every step of the way. She is incredibly sweet, patient, talented, and knowledgeable, breaking down each move in a way that was easy to understand and execute. Her encouragement and positive energy made the entire process so much fun, and by the end, we not only had a beautiful dance but also wonderful memories of learning together.
In between practicing our first dance - my father and I went in for a few dance classes, for our father/daughter dance. Jessica helped us to create a simplistic dance, which was exactly what we wanted. She provided us with positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout both of our lessons. My dad absolutely loved her.
If you're looking for someone who truly cares, takes the time to tailor choreography to your comfort level, and makes the experience enjoyable, Jessica is the perfect person to work with. Thanks to her, our first dance was a moment we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Jessica and Xtreme Rhythm Dance Academy to any couple looking to create a special and unforgettable first dance!

With a little practice and our work with Jess we were able to enjoy a beautiful first dance while also impressing many of our guests. Thank you Jess!

Jessica's ability to listen to what we were looking for from our own music choice and create an awesome dance was a testament to her talent. Her true strength was her patience. This was a first dance lesson for both of us and her positive nature while encouraging us throughout practicing was really special. These lessons gave my dad and I our own thing to look forward to and share a laugh over in the planning process and I thank Jessica for allowing these memories to happen. These lessons led to us enjoying the dance even more on the big day, all while looking great and having fun! :)

nce we met Jessica, she helped us narrow down a song choice based on our personalities and the vibe of our wedding. We then got started right away! She was great at not just showing us the moves and having us practice, but she also wrote down the steps so we could go home and remember everything accordingly. We were also coming from Queens which could be a bit of a hike, but because of Jessica's late evening hours and flexibility, we were able to book a session weekly with no hassle. Dancing and being watched dancing can be a bit intimidating, but Jessica's demeanor made it a breeze to practice in front of. My husband and I always looked forward to our sessions! The day of, we listened to her tips and touched base about things with our DJ as she suggested. We had such good feedback from our guests that some people thought we didn't even take lessons, because of how natural everything looked. It was a great experience overall!
