Zack’s Dance Loft

Zack’s Dance Loft’s founder, Zack Engel, draws inspiration from the Latin and ballroom dance styles popular in the Big Apple. Back when he worked as a financial analyst at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Engels began teaching Latin dance at the company. Now that he’s founded his own business replete with a 2000-square-foot studio sporting oversize mirrors on the walls and a floating dance hardwood floor, Engels and his staff train clientele in salsa, wedding dance, pole dance, and more.

Happy hour classes begin with an open bar and provide an hour of dance instruction in salsa, swing, tango, or other styles. The sessions conclude with socializing and drinks, much like ballet recitals or successful heart surgeries. Throughout each workshop, Engel cultivates a casual atmosphere. In 2006, he told New York magazine he often makes friends with his students, and the magazine went on to declare that his “private lessons are as technically sound as anyone’s—and way looser and more fun.”
