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!

This is by far my favorite place for ballroom dancing and instruction in Westchester. The teachers are outstanding, and it's a beautiful, inviting space to dance (with excellent dee-jays and homemade desserts by Marie). Many serious dancers train here, but it's also a welcoming environment for newcomers.

What a great dancing experience! The instructor Josie for beginner's salsa is amazing, kind, warm and encouraging, as well as patient and informative. Eddie taught me my very first salsa class and helped me to properly learn the foundation steps and was very informative and knowledgeable in knowing many other dance styles. Nikolai helped me register for the first class and was very kind, warm, friendly and accommodating. I felt very welcomed. I would highly recommend this dance studio to others! They also teach other styles of dance such as bachata, tango, swing dancing and more!

Awesome class!!! My instructor explains everything so clearly even for a beginner like me, I feel like I make a lot of progress each time and I’m then able to use these moves in a social setting which makes it rewarding. I wish I could make it every week but definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in salsa/bachata.
