Social & Ballroom Dance in NYC & Westchester

If you’re looking for a top-tier ballroom dance studio, Danznik Studios (Hawthorne and Manhattan) is the place to be. From the moment you walk into either studio the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and passionate about dance, making lessons enjoyable for beginners and advanced dancers alike. I have been coming here since inception and can’t think of a better studio!

We can’t recommend Danznik enough! We worked with Alexei on a phenomenal wedding dance. He choreographed a dance to highlight our strengths and abilities. He worked through a process that allowed us to first get comfortable mastering the steps and then strung them together into a dance. We can’t wait to dance it at our wedding!

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.

Beautiful space with excellent teachers. The classes are very well structured. It’s amazing what you learn in just an hour. The community is supportive and welcoming even for absolute beginners such as myself!

Very nice, clean space with kind people, instructors, and staff.

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!
