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

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.

Quality of the dance floor is excellent and overall condition of the studio is the best in Westchester. Instructors are great and the dance socials are well attended and music are really great.

I have been a student and Pro-Am Competitor at Danznik Studios for almost 5 years and am thrilled with my experience there. The owner, Nikolai Shpakov, has created an environment where an amateur such as myself can dance with, and learn from, highly accomplished and expertly trained ballroom professionals in a supportive and congenial environment. (It is not uncommon, for example, for Danznik students to show up at competitions as spectators so as to cheer on other competing Danznik students.) Students have the opportunity to compete in many different styles, including International Latin, Standard, American Smooth and American Rhythm in both national and international competitions. The studio itself, which was recently renovated, is the most spacious I’ve seen in Westchester and is kept immaculately clean. In addition to my lessons with my professional, as a Pro-Am student at Danznik, I have the opportunity to participate in Danznik’s weekly rounds where Pro-Am couples can practice their dances in heats with a DJ to mimic a competition environment. I also have access to top-notch coaches both on staff at Danzik and from the outside, who have taken my dancing to the next level. In sum, as a Pro-Am student with a total of 10 years of ballroom dance experience and almost 50 competitions under my belt, I could not ask for a better studio to call my “dance home.”

Great teachers and staff, nice space, fun place to learn to dance.

Danznik Studios is one of Manhattan's top-notch ballroom dancing studios. From the friendliness of the owners and front-desk staff to the thoughtful design and functionality of the studio space, even plenty of bathrooms, every visit feels like I'm at home. My partner and I attend their West Coast Swing social dances every week.

We had a good first class with Ruslan. He is knowledgeable and agreeable, like all your dance instructors I have worked with so far. Really a pleasure.
