My wife and I started taking classes with Zack a few months before our wedding. To be honest, I didn't really know how to dance at all. And the last thing I wanted to do was take dance lessons. I figured I could just "wing it" on our wedding day but my wife was terrified by that plan. So slowly but surely Zack started teaching me some moves. We literally had to start at the beginning - including how to hear the beat! Within a few short lessons, Zack had me moving and really having fun. Within a couple months we were actually working on a choreographed routine . . . and by the time our wedding came, we had it down! All thanks to Zack . . . I can say without hesitation that Zack is an amazing dance instructor. He really worked with me - at my speed and comfort level - to get me ready for my wedding.My wife and I had a lot of fun working with him from the very first lesson . . . to be honest, I didn't want to take lessons in the first place . . . but Zack made it a fun and rewarding experience . . . he's a talented dancer instructor - and a great person . . . what more could you ask for. I give Zack - and his dance loft - an enthusiastic 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend him to all my friends.

“Zack Engle is an extraordinary dance instructor. He did what I thought was impossible—teaching my husband not only how to dance, but also to enjoy it. Thanks to Zack, we had an incredible first dance at our New Year’s Eve wedding. Zack’s loft is a wide open, relaxing, comfortable space with what feels to me like a lot of positive energy. He infuses his space and his teaching with a natural friendliness, passion for music and dance, and inner happiness that also encompass who he is. I recommend him to anyone who will listen!”

The
wedding was in a couple of months and my husband and I
still did not know how to dance salsa. At your average
wedding, this might be okay, but not at a wedding where
there would be almost a hundred Puerto Ricans. We came
across Zack’s Dance Loft and decided to attend an
introductory session. As soon as we stepped into the loft,
we knew these lessons would be different from anything
we had ever experienced. The atmosphere was relaxed and
friendly as opposed to other places where it seems to
be all about business. Zack offered us fresh snacks and
a beverage before we began. His style of teaching was
also noticeably different from other instructors we had
seen. He let us get comfortable with salsa as a series
of walking steps, making our movements more natural and
fluid. |
After the first class, we immediately signed up
for 10 more intensive lessons. During the next six weeks,
we attended lessons two times a week. Zack assessed or
style of dancing, adjusting the way he helped us learn
steps to fit our learning styles. He did not force us
to conform to one way of learning steps. We did not feel
as if we were memorizing steps, but rather learning a
new way of expressing ourselves through dance.
By the
end of the sessions, Zack cultivated in us a passion for
dancing and managed to help us find a routine that was
sure to surprise everyone at the wedding. When we finally
performed our salsa routine, the response was amazing.
Our friends and family were cheering, clapping, standing
up out of there seats, and even whistling with joy. They
were surprised and impressed. We felt so proud that we could perform this special dance to bring both of our
families together.

Zack,
Our wedding dance to "Only You"
was terrific and so much fun. We got lots of compliments
and have been spreading the word about your great lessons! On our honeymoon in Mexico, we had many opportunities
to cha cha and salsa, and even got asked if we were
South American because our dancing was so good. Funny,
huh, considering where we started from! Anyway, since
we weren't able to come to our last few lessons, could
we make up the lessons by coming to some salsa classes?
If so, when are the salsa classes?
Thanks!

Before I began taking lessons with Zack, I was very
shy about dancing in front of people. With Zack's lessons,
I was able to overcome my fears by becoming comfortable
with dancing itself. Because of the way Zack examines
and adjusts to each person's way of moving on the dance
floor, he is able to come up with a personalized method
for teaching that person authentic steps. This allows
a person to become confident about dancing as well as
comfortable. I can honestly say that after my lessons
with Zack, I am not shy about going out to a club to
dance salsa. Because I feel confident and comfortable
dancing, I have no probe lm enjoying the music and the
variety of moves I learned. Zack is accommodating to
the level of dancing a person may have as well as to
how that person actually moves and responds to music.
This really helps to personalize the dancing experience.
