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

This is an absolute gem in the dance world of NYC - a beautiful dance studio with wonderful instructors and very welcoming and friendly staff! It feels like home to me!

Flow Fridays are phenomenal! Very kind and experienced coaches, a welcoming community, and fire music. Happy I visited while on my trip in NYC. They even had a birthdays of the month celebration and international competitive dancers from Brazil perform!

Stephanie was an excellent instructor who went above and beyond to help us craft a beautiful wedding dance together (in a short timeframe and with an unexpected injury!) that we were so excited to perform. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

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.

My instructor shares his immense knowledge in <a href="https://www.danznik.com/studios/westchester/ballroom-dance/"American Smooth with passion and technical clarity. He dissects every part of arm styling, body activation and footwork in a relatable manner so that we can fully experience the essence of this dance. My husband and I take private lessons with him individually and as a couple. We improved exponentially in months!

My wife and I took dance lessons with Stephanie to prepare for our wedding first dance, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Stephanie is incredibly patient and supportive, especially for beginners like us. She took the time to understand our skill level and comfort zone, and carefully choreographed a routine that felt natural while still looking elegant and impressive. What really stood out was her sense of aesthetics and creativity. She didn’t just teach us steps — she helped us create a performance that felt personal and meaningful. Throughout the process, she made learning enjoyable and stress-free, which was so important during the busy wedding planning period. Our first dance turned out beautifully, and we received so many compliments from our friends and family. It truly became one of the highlights of our wedding. We’re very grateful to Stephanie for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any couple preparing for their special day.
