Social & Ballroom Dance in NYC & Westchester

Sonya is phenomenal, she’s able to break things down and teach it so smoothly and effortlessly. She is confident, precise and determined to teach me until I hit the mark! I feel confident she can teach me so much and such great technique!

Excellent dance studio! Everything is brand new, just a pleasure to practice.

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.

Danznik is easily the most remarkable dance space/studio I have EVER worked in and with. The studio physical space is large, gorgeous, is kept spotless and well-managed. There is space free for private lessons whenever the studio is open, even when the entire studio is rented out! They have to run a business but are incredibly accommodating to their teachers, to clients rehearsing, and to private instructors. It is remarkably and truly an inclusive, supportive family. Flexible, they make things work whenever there is any issue. The staff is supportive, positive, and a quite literally a joy to work with. The management and owners are accessible, friendly, and deftly adapt to the ever changing market while continuing to offer core courses and support (to all us OGs) Thank you, Nikolai and John.

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!

Perfect class to learn Latin technique. Viktorya is an excellent teacher and you will learn so much in just one session!
