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

We found Danznik through a Google search just one month before our wedding, after deciding fairly last-minute that we wanted some dance skills and a short choreography… and we were scheduled for our first private lesson within 24 hours! Anton was fun, engaging, and skilled at tailoring his instruction to two people with totally different levels of experience (one of us had none 🙃). We had a perfect ~2 minute routine and a lot more ballroom knowledge after just four sessions, and all our guests LOVED our first dance!! Anton is an amazing teacher and we definitely recommend Danznik to any couple looking for a perfect wedding dance!

If you’re looking for a top-tier ballroom dance studio, Danznik Studios (Hawthorne and Manhattan) is the place to be. From the moment you walk into either studio the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and passionate about dance, making lessons enjoyable for beginners and advanced dancers alike. I have been coming here since inception and can’t think of a better studio!

My husband and I were paired with Stephanie for the 4-class wedding dance package. Scheduling was really easy, and Stephanie designed a custom 1.5-minute routine for our first dance song. Stephanie designed a routine with lots of movement and twirls that photographed really beautifully (but was still easy enough for us beginners!). Stephanie walked us through every movement and detail. One bonus is the studio has enough space for you to practice, as long as there isn't an event going on. We took advantage of that and tried to do a little practicing ourselves after class when we could, which really helped us memorize our routine. I would highly recommend Stephanie and this studio! Remember to bring your wedding shoes!

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.

Beautiful and clean studio. Amazing community and excellent teachers!

I've been coming to Danznik to Sunday rounds to practice my dance routines, and it's been such an amazing experience. Nikolai is always welcoming, and he created a great atmosphere with friendly and supportive vibe for all dancers. I've also met so many wonderful dance friends here, and the sense of community and support is truly special here! Whether you're preparing for a comp, or just looking to refine your skills - it's a great place to train and grow :)
