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!

I’ve studied dancing at the Westchester studio for about 5 years and have definitely enjoyed every moment I’ve been there. The studio is spacious, clean and well maintained but most of all, every individual instructor is a top-of-the line Pro! Each one has obtained a high level of excellence in his career and, yet, with extensive background and experiences, they generously give of their time, patience, and energy in order to help each student attain his own goal. If you are an individual or couple, seeking to enhance your passions, Danznik studio is the place to go. You will not regret your decision and may even become addicted to dancing!

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.

A very special, beautiful studio with top of the line instructors. Lessons are professionally taught by Pros with a solid background career in Ballroom/Latin dancing along with guest instructors for other types of dance programs.

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.

We didn't have any prior dancing experience and wanted to do more than just sway for our first dance at our wedding. Danznik matched us with our instructor Anton who was awesome! He's an extremely talented dancer and a kind and patient teacher who taught us the basics and put together a nice choreographed number for our song. We had a lot of fun practicing, and he even provided feedback on the practice videos we sent him. He made us feel at ease to be on the center stage and most importantly have fun! The studio is also beautiful. Highly recommend Danznik and Anton!
