Simultaneously, Zack began working as a Pro-Assistant with Velocity Dance Convention, and was eventually pulled away from school to pursue his dance career full time when he auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance Season 11. He placed in the Top 4 and performed in several Emmy nominated routines that season.

    Zack returned to TV when he competed with his partner Ashley Gonzales on World of Dance Season 2 as a duet and advanced all the way the division finals. They both returned to WOD Season 3 in the Upper Team Division with Tessandra Chavez's award-winning dance company Unity LA. Zack was featured as the dance captain of the team and helped lead them to win 2nd place.

    Most recently, Zack’s work on World of Dance helped Tessandra and Unity LA win an Emmy Award for choreography in 2019. He is currently on faculty at Velocity Dance Convention.

  • Tash Crudup is a professional dancer and renown wellness coach from New York City. Tash grew up on the east coast training intensely in many styles of dance since the age of 3. Tash has danced for the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West, Jlo, Tyler the Creator, and more. In love with movement and its health and spiritual benefits, Tash began cross-training in Pilates, yoga, and weight training. After becoming a SoulCycle instructor in 2018, and a yoga teacher in 2020, motivation, meditation, and wellness became an even bigger focus across dance industries. Tash has been a featured athlete in Reebok, collaborated with Nike, and has taken on many celebrity personal training clients.
