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

Stephanie was the best teacher ever! She was FUN, kind, patient, and direct with us. She gave us great feedback throughout our four lessons, helping us to improve with each visit. Also, it was just an awesome date night each week leading up to the wedding. We honestly looked forward to our dance lessons each week as a way to destress from all the wedding planning chaos. I could not recommend her more if you are wanting your dance to feel special and personalized.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Danznik. The space, the location, the staff -- all top notch! Nikolai has built a wonderful program right in the heart of the city. Most recently I worked with Gaby Cook (through Midtown Swings) to prepare for a ProAm competition and she was an absolutely perfect teacher and partner. Communication, skill, preparation, choreography -- impossible to have asked for anything more. Hands down the best studio in NYC!

My ProAm experience at Danznik Studios has truly been one of the best. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The energy in the space is warm and professional, for both students and teachers. The quality of instruction is world-class—technical, thoughtful, and tailored to what you need. Excellent teachers and coaches. Nikolai also hosts showcases which are so beneficial especially for students new to performing. It is a wonderful community event attended not just by Danznik students but by other students from outside studios. My ProAm journey here has given me not only better dancing, but also more confidence and a wonderful sense of community. If you are looking to start your ProAm journey, I highly recommend this studio!

My favorite place to do some latin dancing with incredibly nice and fun people.

I absolutely love Danznik Studios. I’ve been dancing at the Hawthorne location for years. What keeps me coming back? The beautiful, huge dance floor kept in pristine condition. The wide selection of dance styles offered, which includes ballroom and Latin, social club dance styles, and Argentine Tango. The top level dance teachers, who nurture both beginning and advanced students, as well as top ProAm competitors. But what keeps me coming back most of all is the kind, caring attitude of owner Nikolai Shpakov and his staff. They work to create an atmosphere where every dancer is supported, and each student progresses at his or her own pace.

Brook was a wonderful teacher!
