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

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!

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!

Danznik Studios offers first-class teachers. I avidly pursue Pro/Am lessons & competitions with Nikolai Shpakov and Tatiana Banko. They give much thought into what I need to do to continue growing. I have seen this kind of detail and dance teaching from all the teachers who work at the studio. The same is true of all their group classes. If you are pursuing social dancing or want a group setting to enhance your individual growth, you will find these group classes a real a real plus. The studio itself is clean, bright, and has a superb floor on which to dance. See you there!

Danznik Studios is truly a gem in the heart of New York City for social and ballroom dance enthusiasts. The moment you step into the studio, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a perfect blend of elegance and energy. The space is beautifully maintained, with a spacious dance floor, mirrored walls, and a welcoming ambiance that encourages both beginners and experienced dancers to feel at ease. It’s not just a dance studio; it’s a place where lifelong connections and memories are made. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the joy of dance!

I have been taking Argentine Tango classes with Anton Domansky and combination Smooth and Rhythm classes with Brook Diamond. Both Anton and Brook are excellent teachers, guiding with their vast knowledge and warm sense of humor. Also, I attend Brook’s once a month Sunday Social, which is lots of fun dancing to DJ Antonio’s wonderful variety of music. For the first time, I recently attended La Practilonga, hosted by Carolina Juarena - very welcoming, instructive and fun. I certainly recommend Danznik for excellent instruction and fun social events!

Wonderful new studio. Beautiful design, modern, state-of-the-art technology. Top notch teachers and friendly vibe. Highly recommend!
