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

I absolutely love Danznik Studios. I’ve been dancing at the Hawthorne location for years. What keeps me coming back? The beautiful, huge dance floor kept in pristine condition. The wide selection of dance styles offered, which includes ballroom and Latin, social club dance styles, and Argentine Tango. The top level dance teachers, who nurture both beginning and advanced students, as well as top ProAm competitors. But what keeps me coming back most of all is the kind, caring attitude of owner Nikolai Shpakov and his staff. They work to create an atmosphere where every dancer is supported, and each student progresses at his or her own pace.

We had a wonderful experience working with Faustine at Danznik Studios to prepare a choreographed “first dance” for our wedding! It was easy to schedule practice sessions and Faustine provided excellent feedback throughout the lessons. The dance turned out amazing and everyone was impressed! Highly recommend their services!

Working with Ana on our first dance was such a wonderful experience. She is incredibly patient, kind, and talented, and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process! Ana created a dance that felt natural and truly reflected us as a couple. Every lesson was something we looked forward to, thanks to her warm personality and encouraging approach. We are so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and talented dance instructor <3

Lots of dancing and wonderful dance hosts.

I started dancing WCS about 7 months ago, learning from Joe & Jes Ann. They are both great dancers and teachers in their unique ways. I have kept coming back and taking their lessons and group classes. The condition of the floor is very good. The space is sufficient for social parties. The staff is always friendly and resourceful. Best of all is the people I met here. Dancing is pure joy. You see smiles all the time.

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 :)
