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

This is a high level studio! I have been training sll my life and with other studios like Dancesport and You should be dancing, Pierre Dulaine, and others. I have startted again after years becsuse I have been so inspired by these people. My whole life has changed because i believe again. Super teachers like Anton, Tatiana, Nikolai,Sonia ...you will not meet better and their encouragement has meant everything to me! New York ! Try this studio!

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!

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.

We can’t recommend Danznik enough! We worked with Alexei on a phenomenal wedding dance. He choreographed a dance to highlight our strengths and abilities. He worked through a process that allowed us to first get comfortable mastering the steps and then strung them together into a dance. We can’t wait to dance it at our wedding!

My husband and I were paired with Stephanie for the 4-class wedding dance package. Scheduling was really easy, and Stephanie designed a custom 1.5-minute routine for our first dance song. Stephanie designed a routine with lots of movement and twirls that photographed really beautifully (but was still easy enough for us beginners!). Stephanie walked us through every movement and detail. One bonus is the studio has enough space for you to practice, as long as there isn't an event going on. We took advantage of that and tried to do a little practicing ourselves after class when we could, which really helped us memorize our routine. I would highly recommend Stephanie and this studio! Remember to bring your wedding shoes!

Very nice, clean space with kind people, instructors, and staff.
