Excellent ballroom dance studio. Extremely well-run and professional. Expert instructors with large and beautifully maintained dance floor. Second smaller dance studio on the ground floor, which is the perfect size for group classes and is equipped with state of the art audio visual equipment for attendance via Zoom. Reasonable and fair pricing for private and group classes with no requirement that students purchase packages, although available if interested in volume discounts. The studio has its own app, which you can download to book, purchase and generally oversee your account giving you first hand control of your studio experience right on your phone. In sum, Danznik Studios is a real gem that should not be overlooked for social and competitive ballroom dancing!!

Danznik is easily the most remarkable dance space/studio I have EVER worked in and with. The studio physical space is large, gorgeous, is kept spotless and well-managed. There is space free for private lessons whenever the studio is open, even when the entire studio is rented out! They have to run a business but are incredibly accommodating to their teachers, to clients rehearsing, and to private instructors. It is remarkably and truly an inclusive, supportive family. Flexible, they make things work whenever there is any issue. The staff is supportive, positive, and a quite literally a joy to work with. The management and owners are accessible, friendly, and deftly adapt to the ever changing market while continuing to offer core courses and support (to all us OGs) Thank you, Nikolai and John.

My friends and I had an incredible time at this dance studio. We were a group of friends visiting our one local friend who comes here every week. They asked if we could join them at this intro to West Coast Swing class before the actual social dance itself. We all signed up and even those who hate dancing had a good time. It was very beginner friendly. Like most social dance intro classes, we were separated into a group of leaders and a group of followers. Our instructors lead us through different steps and movements. As a follower, it was easy to just follow the different leaders' guidance. In this class, they also really leaned into talking with your dance partner. We did some quick icebreakers with new partners before dancing. It was never too awkward because we would switch to a new partner pretty frequently. Because we came with our local friend, it wasn't too tough to find the studio. We entered a building and took the elevator to the dance studio. I highly recommend checking out Danznik Studios if you're interested in learning West Coast Swing.

The best dance studio in Manhattan where you can rent a shared or private space hourly. Great atmosphere, friendly people, beautiful space full of light.
