Many happy returns to you, Zach, on your special day. One of my very favorite Billies on The Tour and always felt sad your tenure seemed to me to be so brief. Wrote powerful reviews on you and so much enjoyed conversations with you and your mom after a couple of your memorable performances.

Let us hear more about you so we could better follow your career. At least know we're thinking of you and sending best regards on your birthday.

Very nice! Thanks for finding this. Well done Zach!

Thanks michaelj for that great video of Zach. I always loved to watch Zach dance especially his beautiful ballet skills. He is even better (not a surprise) in this video. His movements are so beautifully simple and natural - flowing and graceful, ala Peggy Flemming (If you are old enough to remember her graceful flowing movement). Glad to see he is still passionate about dance.

Zach has posted these two numbers on Youtube. The first one, "Details in the Fabric", is the same dance that was posted back in May, but at a different competition.

This is probably one lousy assumption, but I always felt Zach was likened to one of the best kept secrets of the Tour. Perhaps, it may have been because his tenure seemed a bit short, I don't know. But, I was always truly taken by his sensitive and gorgeous interpretation of Billy and found him to be one of the most engaging youngsters you'd care to meet and with whom you'd care to share the magic of his performances.

This is a terrific presentation, and good for Zach. I hope those of us who so appreciated him will have the opportunity to see more of his extraordinary skills through such videos.

I agree, Colin. I was deeply moved the first time I saw Zach. He reminded me very much of Julian. I am so happy to see he is continuing to develop his craft as a dancer.
