Real Reviews from Clients

Stephanie was the best teacher ever! She was FUN, kind, patient, and direct with us. She gave us great feedback throughout our four lessons, helping us to improve with each visit. Also, it was just an awesome date night each week leading up to the wedding. We honestly looked forward to our dance lessons each week as a way to destress from all the wedding planning chaos. I could not recommend her more if you are wanting your dance to feel special and personalized.

Danznik Studios in Midtown! Our friends got married earlier this year and DAAAAZZLED us with their first dance. Initially we were just gonna box step and twirl, then call it a day for our first dance but that sold us to get lessons. 1.5 months later, our instructor Ruslan has us twirling around, doing 3 different lifts, and fun steps. We. Look. Incredible. Can't wait to shock our family with our sudden metamorphosis into ballroom dancers. Ruslan is also so friendly, super easygoing (will tailor the dance if you want it more chill or more fabulous), we truly look forward to our sessions. Worth the money!

My husband and I took classes with Stephanie before our wedding. We weren't looking for anything fancy; we just wanted to learn how to dance well together. Stephanie knocked it out of the park - we had the best time and know we know how to dance together forever :)

This is really the best dance studio I’ve ever been to. We’re preparing for our wedding dance, and took a few date night lessons as well as a private lesson. The lessons are really well paced and they really make the most of the time — in one night, you learn two dances with your partner! Stephanie was amazing and taught us how to improve our dance and stances, which was super helpful!

We took wedding dance lessons with Anton and he is genuinely the best! He was able to choreograph based on our music and include any moved I have seen and liked. I am so happy with how our first dance turned out and would recommend this studio to every couple!

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.

Ruslan is an incredible teacher. He helped turn my partner and I with little to no dance ability into fantastic dancers for our wedding. He has an incredible gift for choreography and breaking things down for those new to dance. On top of that, he has a wonderful, charming demeanor and is a pleasure to work with. The studio is beautiful and clean. 10/10!

We had an amazing time getting dance lessons from Danznik Studios to prepare us for our wedding. Our instructor Anton was amazing! He had been picked for us by the staff to be the best match for our first dance song, and he was completely involved and enthusiastic as he taught us dance moves catered to our song and venue. Practicing these joyous the dance moves at home was a daily relief from other wedding planning stress. The first dance was a hit, with several people telling us afterward how surprised they were by our dance. The studio is beautiful and spacious and there was never a time we didn't have a private room and the staff made us feel so welcomed. We could not recommend Anton and Danznik studios more for wedding dance planning!!

We had such a wonderful experience learning our wedding dance with Stephanie! She is incredibly experienced, passionate about dance and so patient with us throughout the entire process. She made every lesson fun and enjoyable, and her warm, caring personality made her feel like a mum looking after us. We always felt supported and encouraged, even when we struggled. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher and highly recommend her for anyone preparing for their wedding dance! Also, remember to practice :)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do wedding dance lessons cost?

Our Starter Package is $499 for four private lessons (about $125 each), plus unlimited free practice time—something most NYC studios charge extra for or don’t offer at all. Additional lessons are $99 each.

What if we have two left feet?

Then you’ll fit right in. Most of our couples say the same thing in their first lesson, and most of them are shocked by how good they look by lesson three. Your instructor has seen it all and knows how to work with every comfort level.

What makes Danznik different from other Westchester County wedding dance studios?

Three things: transparent pricing (no surprises, no upsells), unlimited free practice space at our studios, and flexible scheduling with a team of instructors. Most independent instructors can’t offer practice space, and most franchise studios won’t give you a straight answer on price until you’re in the door.

What dance style should I learn for our wedding dance?

Most couples start dancing with basic steps from foxtrot or waltz for classic wedding choreography. Popular ballroom dancing styles include cha cha, salsa, and Viennese waltz for more energy. West Coast Swing offers great lead/follow improv opportunities. Your instructor will recommend the perfect style based on your song and comfort level.

How many lessons do we need for our wedding dance?

It depends on your goals, experience, and schedule. Many couples take 5-10 private lessons to feel confident and comfortable. Working with an instructor helps you learn faster and with less stress.

When should we start wedding dance lessons?

Starting 2–3 months before your wedding gives you time to learn comfortably and reduce last-minute stress. Even a few weeks can work with consistent practice.

Can I dance in my wedding dress?

Yes. Most wedding dresses can be dance-friendly with a few simple adjustments. If your dress has a long train, having it bustled is key for safe movement. When you meet with your dance instructor, bring details about your dress style so they can choreograph moves that work perfectly with your gown’s silhouette and fabric.

Can I change instructors after our first lesson?

Yes. We want you to feel completely comfortable. If you’d prefer to work with a different instructor, just let us know. We’ll happily make the switch.

Can we choose our own music?

Yes, your first dance should feel personal, and your song choice is a big part of that. If you’re undecided, our team can help you find something that fits your vibe and goals for the dance.

What should we wear for our wedding dance lessons?

Wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in. If you already have your wedding shoes or something similar, bring them along. It helps us tailor the experience to your actual movement in that footwear.

Can we do a surprise or flash mob style dance?

Yes. We’ve helped couples pull off surprise mashups, costume reveals, and full guest flash mobs. If you can dream it, we can choreograph it.

Do I need dance experience to take wedding dance lessons?

Wedding dance lessons do not require any prior dance experience. Most couples who work with us are beginners! We specialize in making you feel at ease and confident from the very first step.

What happens if we need to reschedule?

We can accommodate rescheduling with at least 24-hour notice. We’ll do our best to find a new time slot that works for you.
