Real Reviews from Clients

We had a wonderful experience working with Faustine at Danznik Studios to prepare a choreographed “first dance” for our wedding! It was easy to schedule practice sessions and Faustine provided excellent feedback throughout the lessons. The dance turned out amazing and everyone was impressed! Highly recommend their services!

My husband and I were paired with Stephanie for the 4-class wedding dance package. Scheduling was really easy, and Stephanie designed a custom 1.5-minute routine for our first dance song. Stephanie designed a routine with lots of movement and twirls that photographed really beautifully (but was still easy enough for us beginners!). Stephanie walked us through every movement and detail. One bonus is the studio has enough space for you to practice, as long as there isn't an event going on. We took advantage of that and tried to do a little practicing ourselves after class when we could, which really helped us memorize our routine. I would highly recommend Stephanie and this studio! Remember to bring your wedding shoes!

Anton was a great instructor for our wedding first dance!

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!

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.

We cannot recommend Tatiana Keegan enough! One of us had zero dance experience, and the other hadn’t danced since high school over 10 years ago—and neither of us had ever tried ballroom before. After 10 lessons with Tatiana, we went from nervous and clueless to completely confident. She choreographed a first dance that was perfectly “us,” easy to learn, and looked amazing on the big day. Her energy is infectious, her teaching style is fun and clear, and every lesson felt like hanging out with a friend who also happens to be a brilliant instructor. We absolutely killed our first dance, and it’s one of our favorite memories from the wedding—all thanks to Tatiana.

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 can’t recommend Danznik enough! We worked with Alexei on a phenomenal wedding dance. He choreographed a dance to highlight our strengths and abilities. He worked through a process that allowed us to first get comfortable mastering the steps and then strung them together into a dance. We can’t wait to dance it at our wedding!

We waited until the last possible minute to do a choreographed dance for our wedding, but we were able to get a great dance together thanks to Danznik. Our instructor, Stephanie Shapiro gave us the tools we needed to do a routine that was fun and unique to us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very fun to work with. We also took advantage of Danznik’s free practice time available for wedding couples which was incredibly helpful for us with our tight deadline.

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.
