He is the owner of Dance Anatomy Studio. Ziad introduced Salsa & Tango Argentino to Lebanon as a complete Dance Scene in 2001 where he created the two trademarks: SALSA LEBANON (c) & TANGO LEBANON (c)
He dedicated himself to others opening opportunities to them in the Salsa & Tango scene fields which created a dynamism in the scene through his derivatives. 
 
Thanks to his solid dance background in the Couple Dance Categories and through his surrealist character composition, Ziad is now an inspiration for dancers who got to know him, he could make use of all this to offer the Dance Scene in Lebanon a foundation for a great and solid connection with the international Dance scene level. 
 
The impact that Ziad’s dance Pedagogy has on the social dance scene and specifically in SALSA & TANGO is not only a direct impact on close students but also a dance generator extended over the whole national scene
