"My daughter has been a student of Zach’s going on 4 years now. He is beyond talented, extremely professional, an amazing teacher and a wonderful role model! Over the last few years I have seen my daughters tap skills and her confidence in tap improve so much because of Zach. He has taken the time to get to know her strengths and weaknesses and continues to push her to be her best. He knows just how to give the right amount of encouragement and correction in a way that just keeps her wanting to learn more. Her favorite parts of the week are those times that she spends doing her favorite activity with one of her favorite people – Zach! Zach’s choreography is award winning, fun to perform and even more fun to watch! He comes in with ideas and will continue to tweak the routine until it is just perfect. Because of Zach and his focus on technique and cleaning, my daughter has won overall awards up against very tough competition in a tap category which is very difficult to do. Zach not only teaches, but he never stops wanting to learn more himself. He is always taking classes or workshops to just keep making himself a better dancer and teacher. That kind of dedication shows the younger kids that you never stop learning no matter how good you are. He teaches that by example, not just by words. He will not make a student do something that he can’t or won’t do. He loves a challenge for himself and for his students. It is so much fun for them to be in his class for that reason and also to watch as a parent from the outside. When it comes time for classes – he is there when he says he will be there and he is always on time, ready to teach. I always have a happy and smiling daughter come out of his class/private lesson. Zach has found a student for life in my daughter! We are so lucky to have found him!!"
