Zachary DeBevec (he/him) is a professional actor and dancer based in Central New Jersey. He holds a BA in Theater Performance with a minor in Arts Administration from Rider University and has performed in many theaters in the Philadelphia region. 

Some of his credits include: Walnut Street Theatre (Escape to Margaritaville, Shrek, Young Frankenstein, Legally Blonde, Holiday Inn, Matilda, A Funny Thing…Forum), Arden Theatre Company (Gypsy), Delaware Theatre Company and New Light Theatre (Kinky Boots), Bucks County Center for the Performing Arts (Sweet Charity, South Pacific), The Eagle Theatre (A Chorus Line, Pippin), Ocean City Theater Company (Grease, Swinging into the Holidays, Mamma Mia!, Newsies, A Chorus Line, Beauty and the Beast), The Candlelight Theatre (Crazy for You, Hairspray, Funny Girl, Music Man, Legally Blonde).

He got his start with formal dance training thanks to his best friend (and fellow Powerhouse instructor) Noelle Martone, who took him to his first dance class. He fell in love with dance then and has not stopped taking class since.

Zach is excited to share his knowledge of the theatre industry and help students cultivate their own artistry.

  • Zach seeks to create a safe space for dancers to explore their individuality and cultivate their artistry. He is a huge supporter of ‘Dancer’s Choice,’ meaning that he encourages dancers to listen to their bodies and ask for/choose options within the choreography that are comfortable for each individual dancer's body. His combos are usually high energy, sassy and fun. He rarely gives floorwork or jumps in his combos, and if he does, he always offers modifications. Zach also gives tips on style/performance qualities to incorporate to bring the choreography to the next level. And, you can pretty much guarantee that Zach will almost always do a bad Celine Dion impression at least once a class! Dancers appreciate Zach for creating a judgement-free zone that makes them feel comfortable! They love his positive, upbeat and kind energy and the way he makes every dancer feel special.

    • “Zach DeBevec is PHENOMENAL. He truly cares and makes sure that everyone in class feels seen, heard, valued and uplifted! His choreography is always fire, and he makes sure to break it down section by section.”

    • “Zach is incredibly welcoming”

    • “Super friendly and encouraging”

    • “Zach is encouraging as an instructor and even uses gender-inclusive pronouns when he teaches which is so special and much appreciated.”

    • At the front desk: “Zach and Jenny, both at check-ins and as instructors, are such a joy to be around. It’s always a great feeling seeing either of their welcoming faces when I arrive for classes. Without exaggeration, I can’t help but smile.”
