Social, Ballroom, Swing & Wedding Dance in NYC & Hawthorne, NY

I have been dancing with Randy Dias, an instructor at Danznik Studio in Hawthorne two years. What a great experience I am having with Randy at Danznik! The studio has a main floor which suits International Ballroom dancing perfectly. It's almost as big as a competition floor. The space is open and airy. Windows and mirrors line the walls and the floor is always just right - not too slippery and not too sticky. Oh, and did I mention the ballet barre which is great for a pre dance stretch! Randy and I have grown into a steady partnership during the time that we have been dancing at Danznik. He's an instructor who is a great dancer and a super teacher. I am improving my skills without the frustration so often felt when the learning experience isn't clear. There is always a warm welcome from the other Danznik students. I have met people at the studio who are forever friends. We support and encourage each other. We're interested in each other's dance experience and lives in general. The atmosphere is light and caring. I'm happy.

Danznik Studios in Midtown! Our friends got married earlier this year and DAAAAZZLED us with their first dance. Initially we were just gonna box step and twirl, then call it a day for our first dance but that sold us to get lessons. 1.5 months later, our instructor Ruslan has us twirling around, doing 3 different lifts, and fun steps. We. Look. Incredible. Can't wait to shock our family with our sudden metamorphosis into ballroom dancers. Ruslan is also so friendly, super easygoing (will tailor the dance if you want it more chill or more fabulous), we truly look forward to our sessions. Worth the money!

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!!

We didn't have any prior dancing experience and wanted to do more than just sway for our first dance at our wedding. Danznik matched us with our instructor Anton who was awesome! He's an extremely talented dancer and a kind and patient teacher who taught us the basics and put together a nice choreographed number for our song. We had a lot of fun practicing, and he even provided feedback on the practice videos we sent him. He made us feel at ease to be on the center stage and most importantly have fun! The studio is also beautiful. Highly recommend Danznik and Anton!

I just took my first group bachata dance lesson at Danznik in Westchester County. What a pleasure! The space was beautiful! The teacher, Maria, was awesome! Patient. Clear, explained things so well. Knew her stuff. Was fun. Great rapport with the students. Fun choreography. Gave personalized time, but always kept an eye on the entire class. And didn’t make us switch every 2 minutes, so we had time to get to know the partner to figure out the moves. Having just come from a group class elsewhere where the teacher spent his time trying to impress and made it all about him, this was SUCH a pleasure!! Thank you Danznik, I will be back, even if I have to drive 35 minutes to get there! 🙏🙏🕺🏾💃

We cannot recommend Tatiana Keegan enough! One of us had zero dance experience, and the other hadn’t danced since high school over 10 years ago—and neither of us had ever tried ballroom before. After 10 lessons with Tatiana, we went from nervous and clueless to completely confident. She choreographed a first dance that was perfectly “us,” easy to learn, and looked amazing on the big day. Her energy is infectious, her teaching style is fun and clear, and every lesson felt like hanging out with a friend who also happens to be a brilliant instructor. We absolutely killed our first dance, and it’s one of our favorite memories from the wedding—all thanks to Tatiana.
