Social & Ballroom Dance in NYC & Westchester

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.

A very impressive and clean studio from the moment you walk in through the lobby all the way up through the studio in their lobby. Seven bathrooms… I do not lie. There was someone at the front desk that greeted you as you entered and the floor is smooth.

I just took my first group bachata dance lesson at Danznik in Westchester County. What a pleasure! The space was beautiful! The teacher, Maria, was awesome! Patient. Clear, explained things so well. Knew her stuff. Was fun. Great rapport with the students. Fun choreography. Gave personalized time, but always kept an eye on the entire class. And didn’t make us switch every 2 minutes, so we had time to get to know the partner to figure out the moves. Having just come from a group class elsewhere where the teacher spent his time trying to impress and made it all about him, this was SUCH a pleasure!! Thank you Danznik, I will be back, even if I have to drive 35 minutes to get there! 🙏🙏🕺🏾💃

This is a friendly, warm, welcoming studio. Multiple ballrooms. Clean, well kept and organized. Sunday morning rounds with live DJ are a great chance to practice and improve on your dance.

Beautiful and spacious dance floor!

Nikolai is an excellent teacher for both adults and children.
