Be an intelligent consumer; check your options.

When you choose your instructor and school you may want to consider the following:

  • Instructor
    • Resume - Good dancer does not necessarily guarantee good teaching, and vice versa. Here you will find both.
    • Working hours - long hours would bring a weary and unaware instructor. Here you will find an energetic and enthusiastic instructor, as I choose to teach up to three private or semi-private classes a day.
    • Gender - Leading is best taught by a male instructor. I am a male instructor who masters leading.
  • Studio - Size, decor, and amenities. Nowhere will you get the same.
  • Space - More than a few private classes are held in one room. Many times you would learn your wedding dance while listening to the other couples wedding song
  • Hidden costs - Studios and independent teachers charge extra fee for studio space rental.

At Zack's Dance Loft

  • Space -
  • Privacy - No extra fees for private room. Your privacy is guaranteed.
  • Partner - Most schools charge an extra fee for a partner or a classmate. Here we actually provide you with compatible partners.
  • Policies - All schools charge students arriving late. or late cancelled their class. Not at Zack’s Dance Loft.

* Actual rate is an adjusted rate to the actual "One Hour Class".
Since other schools give you only 55 minuets (some schools even less) rather then 60 minuets, the actual rate is much higher then advertised.
** Based on 10-classes package ("Buy 10 classes get 1 class free")
