Reviews

We didn't have any prior dancing experience and wanted to do more than just sway for our first dance at our wedding. Danznik matched us with our instructor Anton who was awesome! He's an extremely talented dancer and a kind and patient teacher who taught us the basics and put together a nice choreographed number for our song. We had a lot of fun practicing, and he even provided feedback on the practice videos we sent him. He made us feel at ease to be on the center stage and most importantly have fun! The studio is also beautiful. Highly recommend Danznik and Anton!

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.

I have been dancing with Randy Dias, an instructor at Danznik Studio in Hawthorne two years. What a great experience I am having with Randy at Danznik! The studio has a main floor which suits International Ballroom dancing perfectly. It's almost as big as a competition floor. The space is open and airy. Windows and mirrors line the walls and the floor is always just right - not too slippery and not too sticky. Oh, and did I mention the ballet barre which is great for a pre dance stretch! Randy and I have grown into a steady partnership during the time that we have been dancing at Danznik. He's an instructor who is a great dancer and a super teacher. I am improving my skills without the frustration so often felt when the learning experience isn't clear. There is always a warm welcome from the other Danznik students. I have met people at the studio who are forever friends. We support and encourage each other. We're interested in each other's dance experience and lives in general. The atmosphere is light and caring. I'm happy.

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.

Congrats on the spring refresh Renovations and paint job! Refinished floor is stunning!! Love the new elegant lighting!! Always loved and appreciated your attention to detail! What a beautiful place to dance❤️💃

Beautiful studio, excellent instruction - overall a top quality ballroom/dance studio to go to. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in dancing.

The class is fun and easy to follow! Lubomir makes sure to provide suggestions and corrections individually and the best part of we all have fun dancing - no partner needed! Lubomir skill level is exceptional!!!

My instructor shares his immense knowledge in <a href="https://www.danznik.com/studios/westchester/ballroom-dance/"American Smooth with passion and technical clarity. He dissects every part of arm styling, body activation and footwork in a relatable manner so that we can fully experience the essence of this dance. My husband and I take private lessons with him individually and as a couple. We improved exponentially in months!

Clean, convenient, friendly staff. Quality instructors. Reasonable prices.
