ZB Performance Training Co.
For dancers ready to hit the stage and the screen.
Notify Me When It ReturnsThe Next Level
ZB Performance Training Co. is not a beginner program. It is the program for intermediate to advanced dancers who are serious about turning their skill into a career. Industry prepped for dancers ready to work. Headshots, agent advice, performance training, and more.
The program packages technical dance training with the infrastructure you need to actually work: headshots, resume building, reel guidance, camera presence, and industry knowledge. Students leave with tools, not just technique.
ZB Performance Training Co. has not run in approximately two years while Zay focused on Back to BAEsics. A revival is actively being planned. Redesigned format: 6-day intensive over two weekends, instead of the previous multi-week format.
What You Will Walk Away With
On Your Body
In-heels and out-of-heels industry-level dance training. Performance presence coaching. Stage and camera confidence.
In Your Portfolio
Professional headshots. A resume template. Reel guidance: what to shoot, how to cut it, how to get noticed.
In Your Network
Agent advice. Industry Q&A. Pre-brand building.
"Loving The Lens" Camera Training
Performance is half of it. Camera is the other half. Loving The Lens is the part of ZB Performance Training Co. where dancers learn how to actually show up on a shoot: photoshoots, videography, what to expect on set, rehearsal etiquette, and the emotional connection that makes a take land.
- → Photoshoot direction: angles, expression, working with a photographer.
- → Videography fundamentals: framing, performing for the camera, holding intention.
- → On-set etiquette: what professional dancers do before, during, and after a take.
- → Emotional connection: how intention translates into the frame.
How It Runs
- Duration: 6-day intensive across two weekends (approximately 2.5 to 3 hours per session).
- Level: Intermediate to advanced. Prior dance experience required. This is not Back to BAEsics.
- Venue: Seattle-based. Venue TBD for revival cohort.
- Status: Program currently paused. Revival being planned for 2026. Get on the list.
You Are Ready. You Just Need the Stage.
- Dancers who want to book gigs, build a reel, or get in front of casting.
- Back to BAEsics graduates who are ready to take the next step.
- Trained dancers who have the skill but need the infrastructure to monetize it.
- Anyone who wants to dance on camera, on stage, or on payroll.
