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

I had my 40th birthday party at Danznik Studios and could not have asked for a better experience! The hall was impeccably decorated, the music tracks handpicked to my preferences and the food oh so delicious! I asked for several dance lessons for my guests and Alexei and Lola did a superb job teaching us how to waltz, swing, line dance and salsa. The dance studio is beautiful, and the owner Nikolai is responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

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!

Awesome class!!! My instructor explains everything so clearly even for a beginner like me, I feel like I make a lot of progress each time and I’m then able to use these moves in a social setting which makes it rewarding. I wish I could make it every week but definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in salsa/bachata.

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 found Danznik through a Google search just one month before our wedding, after deciding fairly last-minute that we wanted some dance skills and a short choreography… and we were scheduled for our first private lesson within 24 hours! Anton was fun, engaging, and skilled at tailoring his instruction to two people with totally different levels of experience (one of us had none 🙃). We had a perfect ~2 minute routine and a lot more ballroom knowledge after just four sessions, and all our guests LOVED our first dance!! Anton is an amazing teacher and we definitely recommend Danznik to any couple looking for a perfect wedding dance!

My friends and I had an incredible time at this dance studio. We were a group of friends visiting our one local friend who comes here every week. They asked if we could join them at this Intro to West Coast Swing class before the actual social dance itself. We all signed up and even those who hate dancing had a good time. It was very beginner friendly. Like most social dance intro classes, we were separated into a group of leaders and a group of followers. Our instructors lead us through different steps and movements. As a follower, it was easy to just follow the different leaders' guidance. In this class, they also really leaned into talking with your dance partner. We did some quick icebreakers with new partners before dancing. It was never too awkward because we would switch to a new partner pretty frequently. Because we came with our local friend, it wasn't too tough to find the studio. We entered a building and took the elevator to the dance studio. I highly recommend checking out Danznik Studios if you're interested in learning West Coast Swing.
