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

We took lessons at Danznik for our May 2022 wedding with Nikolai and it was an amazing experience! From the start, the whole Danznik team were so friendly and welcoming. Neither my husband nor I had any dancing experience, but we knew we wanted a dance to impress our family and friends at our wedding. Nikolai started with the basics for us - learning the basic box and steps. This was super helpful, and we left the first lesson surprised at how much we learned. Through our other 5 lessons, Nikolai choreographed the perfect dance for us. Simple and easy to remember, but with a handful of WOW moments with dips and ending with a lift! We had so much fun learning our dance with Nikolai. My husband didn’t know if he wanted to take lessons at the start, but it ended up being his favorite part of our wedding! We are so glad we went with Danznik and Nikolai to learn our first dance & highly recommend to all couples getting married!

We waited until the last possible minute to do a choreographed dance for our wedding, but we were able to get a great dance together thanks to Danznik. Our instructor, Stephanie Shapiro gave us the tools we needed to do a routine that was fun and unique to us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very fun to work with. We also took advantage of Danznik’s free practice time available for wedding couples which was incredibly helpful for us with our tight deadline.

Very nice, clean space with kind people, instructors, and staff.

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!

Beautiful dance floor 😍

Every time I walk around this place, I see things I only dreamed of. The energy Nikolai has carefully curated makes every dance better. Thank you for all the amazing things you think of.. from the easy to use sound systems to all the fresh flowers!
