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

I have been a student and Pro-Am Competitor at Danznik Studios for almost 5 years and am thrilled with my experience there. The owner, Nikolai Shpakov, has created an environment where an amateur such as myself can dance with, and learn from, highly accomplished and expertly trained ballroom professionals in a supportive and congenial environment. (It is not uncommon, for example, for Danznik students to show up at competitions as spectators so as to cheer on other competing Danznik students.) Students have the opportunity to compete in many different styles, including International Latin, Standard, American Smooth and American Rhythm in both national and international competitions. The studio itself, which was recently renovated, is the most spacious I’ve seen in Westchester and is kept immaculately clean. In addition to my lessons with my professional, as a Pro-Am student at Danznik, I have the opportunity to participate in Danznik’s weekly rounds where Pro-Am couples can practice their dances in heats with a DJ to mimic a competition environment. I also have access to top-notch coaches both on staff at Danzik and from the outside, who have taken my dancing to the next level. In sum, as a Pro-Am student with a total of 10 years of ballroom dance experience and almost 50 competitions under my belt, I could not ask for a better studio to call my “dance home.”

I've been going to Danznik as a beginner for west coast swing for almost 2 years. They have lots of classes and dance socials to get you accustomed to the dance community. And everyone is very welcoming as I've made some great friends during this time. Jes Ann's classes provide a great intro to WCS and continued learning as well!

This dance studio is always very welcoming and clean. Nice floors, multiple rooms, good AC, water fountains and multiple clean bathrooms. I know it’s silly to say, but amenities are what you remember about your experience. That and the personality of the staff. And here, the staff are all super nice and helpful, as well as the door staff in the lobby when you enter the building. 10/10!

The class is fun and easy to follow! Lubomir makes sure to provide suggestions and corrections individually and the best part of we all have fun dancing - no partner needed! Lubomir skill level is exceptional!!!

Beautiful and clean studio. Amazing community and excellent teachers!

I have been dancing at Danznik Westchester for year and enjoyed the experience. Beautiful, convenient and always welcoming studio, with variety of options for dances available, times lessons are offered, and instructors that you can choose from. Thank you!
