Dance Decades

Dance Decades School Photo of dancer and teacher A shy, uncertain yet curious, little girl struggles to open the door to the studio where she will take her first dance class. The very same little girl who we watch four years later, skips with the excitement of another new season, down the corridor as she enters the studio as a much more determined, and disciplined child than we had seen before. It's not long before the front door opens once again, only to find the same girl, six years older, with the same smile, and the same thrill at the thought of the start of another dance season. Only this time she is confident. She is responsible, and she is independent.

For many dancers, TDI becomes a second home as they continue to walk through our doors day after day...year after year. Quality training aside, we are fortunate to watch our dancers grow into successful individuals who display the values and morals that seem to be less apparent these days. Individuals who understand the meaning of commitment, and the significance of loyalty.

Dance Decades is an incentive course available to both Competitive and Recreational students who have made TDI their second home. The program is designed to reward students and their parents in scholarship fashion, for their endless support and dedication to the studio. In a world where integrity and character can easily be lost, we are happy to be able to compensate those who share in our beliefs and continue to instill moral values in their children; our future.

Awards
Awards are distributed annually for Perfect Attendance, Teacher's Choice, Five Year Membership, Ten Year Membership and Dance Decade Certificates.

Dance Decade Certificates
Once a student has received a Certificate, he or she is entitled to dance tuition-free for the remainder of their enrolment at Toronto Dance Industry. Students receiving the Ten Year Membership Award either qualify for the Dance Decade Certificate, or are very close to attaining the status, depending on which program you have been enrolled in at TDI.

Rewards
Recreational Program--students of the Recreational Program will receive their Dance Decade Certificate after ten consecutive years of enrolment at TDI. The bearer of this certificate is entitled to a one hour class, free of charge, from the Recreational Program for the remainder of their enrolment at TDI until the age of 19 years.

Competitive Program--students of the Competitive Program will receive their Dance Decade Certificate after ten consecutive years of enrolment in the Competitive Program at TDI. The bearer of this certificate is entitled to unlimited suitable classes (director's discretion) from the Competitive Program for the remainder of their enrolment at TDI until the age of 19 years.
