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

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!

Perfect class to learn Latin technique. Viktorya is an excellent teacher and you will learn so much in just one session!

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.

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!

I have been a student and Pro-Am Competitor at Danznik Studios for almost 5 years and am thrilled with my experience there. The owner, Nikolai Shpakov, has created an environment where an amateur such as myself can dance with, and learn from, highly accomplished and expertly trained ballroom professionals in a supportive and congenial environment. (It is not uncommon, for example, for Danznik students to show up at competitions as spectators so as to cheer on other competing Danznik students.) Students have the opportunity to compete in many different styles, including International Latin, Standard, American Smooth and American Rhythm in both national and international competitions. The studio itself, which was recently renovated, is the most spacious I’ve seen in Westchester and is kept immaculately clean. In addition to my lessons with my professional, as a Pro-Am student at Danznik, I have the opportunity to participate in Danznik’s weekly rounds where Pro-Am couples can practice their dances in heats with a DJ to mimic a competition environment. I also have access to top-notch coaches both on staff at Danzik and from the outside, who have taken my dancing to the next level. In sum, as a Pro-Am student with a total of 10 years of ballroom dance experience and almost 50 competitions under my belt, I could not ask for a better studio to call my “dance home.”

I came to this studio without knowing anyone as I have been at so many studios from Montreal to NYC and studying ballroom and salsa competition and performance after dancing for so long. I met Anton Domansky at Danznik by chance and his determination to be great has changed my whole life. I want to dance all the time! His compassionate teaching along with rigorous training and a willingness to be a team keeps me going and even though I was injured he also knows about bodies changing and is patient. He is one of the most dedicated people on the planet and a beautiful Argentine Tango teacher (his favorite). Studying with him has been such a joy to date. I cant say enough about Anton! Join their team especially Anton!
