TDT is held 16 Friday evenings during the school year.  There are usually four theme nights and two formal balls, the Christmas Ball and the Spring Ball.

The student population varies each year but typically is about 150 students aged 12 to 18.

The evening runs from 6:15 pm until 10:00 pm. The first hour is class instruction followed by a half hour of etiquette. This is followed by a second hour of instruction and a half hour of refreshments. The last hour consists of dancing with all the classes together.

The fee is currently $275 for a student.  If siblings are also registered the fee is $250 for each additional student.   Modest scholarships are available.  

Goal: Keep the atmosphere at TDT elevated to signal this is a place where we put effort into our appearance and practice wearing dress clothes so that it becomes comfortable and natural. Dancing is a very physical activity yet we are wearing dress clothes, not workout gear, therefore we ask that a high standard is met to make sure it is a fun experience for everyone. 

TDT Lite consists of four evenings during the summer.  Each evening runs from 6:00 pm till 9:00 pm.  TDT Lite is a great way for new students to be introduced to ballroom dance in a smaller group.
