Meet Zay

Isaiah Rashaad

Zay is a choreographer who teaches confidence before technique. His students walk in shy and walk out doing things they swore they couldn't do.

The promise is not perfection. It is transformation, and the kind of fun that makes people want to show up week after week.

Isaiah Rashaad, choreographer and founder of A Day With Zay and Zay's BAEs, Seattle
The Method

Confidence First. Always.

Most heels programs lead with drilling. Zay leads with confidence. As he tells every room, "about 90 percent of heels is your confidence." The technique is real, but it is built on top of how you carry yourself, never the other way around.

So the work starts with the foundation and builds up. The bevel as your home base. The line from hip to toe. Conditioning so you are steady. Then walks, floorwork, and turns, each one layered on the last. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is faked. "It is not about how far you can go," he says. "It is about the technique of how you get there."

The result is dancers who do not just learn steps. They learn to move like they mean it, and to find the fun in the foundation.

How It Builds

One System, Foundation to Performance

1

Foundation

The bevel, pointed feet, and the line from hip to toe. Your home base.

2

Conditioning

Ankle and core strength so you are steady, not wobbling.

3

Movement

Walks, transitions, floorwork, and turns, built on the foundation.

4

Expression

Confidence, texture, and intention. The feel that makes it yours.

5

Performance

Putting it together with presence, and finding the fun.

What They Say

"He won my doubting and jaded heart. I am grateful for you, Zay."

"I really loved the mindset taught alongside the technique. I began to learn not only how to dance and walk in heels, but also the confidence to believe I could."

Nicole

Back to BAEsics

"I can't believe how empowered I feel wearing and dancing in heels now."

Niharika

Back to BAEsics
