I've been going to Danznik for the past 6 months to learn west coast swing and I love it. The teachers are all incredible (shout out Jes Ann for her Wednesday night classes!). They host amazing socials both on several days throughout the week, along with a couple bigger once a month socials. Highly recommended checking out House of West (especially on the first Wednesday of the month for J&J night) and Flow Fridays!

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.

Had a great time here! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Went for a west coast swing beginner class and social after and it was a lot of fun! They also offer group classes and private lessons for different styles of dances. Highly recommend!

I have never been disappointed at Flow Fridays where WCS dancers of various levels come to dance all night to best WCS music in NYC.
You can expand your network of Westie community friends and just have a great evening of dancing with so many nice people.
The hosts, DJs and instructors are so welcoming and talented so I can’t wait to attend each month.
You can try new moves that you recently learned and experiment so you will find it immensely helpful in testing your creativity without being judged.
If you have never been to Flow Fridays, come and try it. It is amazing!!
