Start Your Dance Journey

I've been coming to Danznik to Sunday rounds to practice my dance routines, and it's been such an amazing experience. Nikolai is always welcoming, and he created a great atmosphere with friendly and supportive vibe for all dancers. I've also met so many wonderful dance friends here, and the sense of community and support is truly special here! Whether you're preparing for a comp, or just looking to refine your skills - it's a great place to train and grow :)

It's hard to beat the gorgeous dance floor, sunny studio, friendly atmosphere and top-notch professional instructions, all in one easily accessible location!

Knowledgeable teachers and everyone is very friendly. I love Danznik Studios, and anyone who wants to dance should come here.

Danznik is easily the most remarkable dance space/studio I have EVER worked in and with. The studio physical space is large, gorgeous, is kept spotless and well-managed. There is space free for private lessons whenever the studio is open, even when the entire studio is rented out! They have to run a business but are incredibly accommodating to their teachers, to clients rehearsing, and to private instructors. It is remarkably and truly an inclusive, supportive family. Flexible, they make things work whenever there is any issue. The staff is supportive, positive, and a quite literally a joy to work with. The management and owners are accessible, friendly, and deftly adapt to the ever changing market while continuing to offer core courses and support (to all us OGs) Thank you, Nikolai and John.

Had a great time here! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Went for a west coast swing beginner class and social after and it was a lot of fun! They also offer group classes and private lessons for different styles of dances. Highly recommend!

I really like this dance studio. All instructors are professional and friendly. I had the chance to work with Lubomir, and he was fantastic. I look forward to dancing with you pretty soon. The staff are also dancers and very kind and friendly. They’re helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks, guys!! I’ll see you this Sunday :)

The best dance studio in Manhattan where you can rent a shared or private space hourly. Great atmosphere, friendly people, beautiful space full of light.

This is a friendly, warm, welcoming studio. Multiple ballrooms. Clean, well kept and organized. Sunday morning rounds with live DJ are a great chance to practice and improve on your dance.

Highly professional, warm, welcoming environment! Was brand new to dance and felt instantly at home in this studio. Super friendly staff, owners and clients. Large dance floor, great sound system, and great attention to detail. Wonderful dance studio!

Clean, convenient, friendly staff. Quality instructors. Reasonable prices.

Stunning studio, beautiful and clean. Amazing floors, sound system and tech are on point. The teachers are of a very high caliber. Some of the best teachers in New York teach here and if you're serious about your dancing or just want to have fun, this is the place to be! You will get to work with dance champions. Very personable staff and friendly environment. It's right next to the train station so convenient commute from Manhattan. Reasonable prices. Love this studio and I highly recommend!

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.

Wonderful new studio. Beautiful design, modern, state-of-the-art technology. Top notch teachers and friendly vibe. Highly recommend!

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.

This is an absolute gem in the dance world of NYC - a beautiful dance studio with wonderful instructors and very welcoming and friendly staff! It feels like home to me!

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!

This is an excellent dance studio. All the teachers are dedicated Professionals and skilled at instruction. There is much intense teaching as well as joyful laughter. A welcoming friendly Community.

Beautiful smooth floor, great music, friendly people. This place will make you WANT to learn to dance if you don't dance already!!

Wonderful dance instructors, friendly dancers, spacious dance floor, and management committed to continuous improvements.

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!
