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

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.

Good group of dancers and a nice, large dance floor.

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!

Danznik, Nikolai, and especially my ProAm Partner, Tatiana Banko have collectively re-inspired my love of dance and taken me to a whole new level. Technically excellent, patient, encouraging, the right balance of discipline and support, I offer my highest recommendations to anyone considering the social joy or the sport than is Ballroom Dance!

We had an absolute blast working on the first dance for our wedding with Stephanie! She is a great teacher and choreographer, we are so happy we decided to do a choreographed first dance! Everyone was very impressed with our dance and doing these classes together was a fun way to de-stress from wedding planning. I would definitely recommend Danznik and Stephanie for anyone looking for wedding dance classes (and don’t be scared if you don’t have a lot of dance experience!)

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!
