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

Boot camp was very beginner friendly, the teacher brook is very funny and personable and made what is always an awkward experience (a beginner in a physical activity not knowing what they are doing while having to hold hands and be up close with strangers) and enjoyable experience. I had a good time

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

Excellent ballroom dance studio. Extremely well-run and professional. Expert instructors with large and beautifully maintained dance floor. Second smaller dance studio on the ground floor, which is the perfect size for group classes and is equipped with state of the art audio visual equipment for attendance via Zoom. Reasonable and fair pricing for private and group classes with no requirement that students purchase packages, although available if interested in volume discounts. The studio has its own app, which you can download to book, purchase and generally oversee your account giving you first hand control of your studio experience right on your phone. In sum, Danznik Studios is a real gem that should not be overlooked for social and competitive ballroom dancing!!

We had a great experience with Stephanie Shapiro learning the first dance for our wedding! The space itself was great, with 2 rooms for lessons and practicing on our own. Stephanie was very easy to coordinate with and was flexible to our schedule. We had a lot of fun at every lesson - Stephanie was reassuring, keeping it light even when we were struggling. She was able to choreograph a dance that fit the style we wanted and looked professional, but wasn't too difficult for a couple beginners to learn in 4 lessons. We received so many compliments on the dance - it was definitely one of the more memorable parts of our wedding night for us and our guests.

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!

My ProAm experience at Danznik Studios has truly been one of the best. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The energy in the space is warm and professional, for both students and teachers. The quality of instruction is world-class—technical, thoughtful, and tailored to what you need. Excellent teachers and coaches. Nikolai also hosts showcases which are so beneficial especially for students new to performing. It is a wonderful community event attended not just by Danznik students but by other students from outside studios. My ProAm journey here has given me not only better dancing, but also more confidence and a wonderful sense of community. If you are looking to start your ProAm journey, I highly recommend this studio!
