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

I highly recommend this studio. The atmosphere is lively, and everybody is very kind. The instructors are patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. I have been to several dance studios in Manhattan and I enjoy this one the most.

I have enjoyed dancing at this studio for several years. The ballroom is very large and well maintained. All of the instructors are wonderful friendly professional dancers and you can find classes in almost any type of dance! The location is convenient near the Hawthorne train station and there are dance parties every Wednesday, and on some weekends. No partner necessary. All of the instructors are very patient and accommodating.

We cannot recommend Tatiana Keegan enough! One of us had zero dance experience, and the other hadn’t danced since high school over 10 years ago—and neither of us had ever tried ballroom before. After 10 lessons with Tatiana, we went from nervous and clueless to completely confident. She choreographed a first dance that was perfectly “us,” easy to learn, and looked amazing on the big day. Her energy is infectious, her teaching style is fun and clear, and every lesson felt like hanging out with a friend who also happens to be a brilliant instructor. We absolutely killed our first dance, and it’s one of our favorite memories from the wedding—all thanks to Tatiana.

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.

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!

We love this studio! Is the best studio in Manhattan in our opinion! 🙏❤️ It’s so welcoming, thank you Nikolai & John for letting us work with you. And the whole team! Lola, Liza in the past as well! Such a great atmosphere!
