He’s warm, funny, and down-to-earth - a teacher who makes everyone feel welcome, whether you’re taking your first steps or you’ve been dancing for years.
His visits are always a highlight of the season, so if you’ve been wanting to learn ballroom dancing, this is your chance!
Workshop details

✦ 1-4pm at the Creekside Seniors Centre

The Foxtrot originated in the early 20th Century and grew in popularity during the rise of jazz music. It developed into a sophisticated, stylish dance known for its musicality, precise movements, and smooth progression around the dance floor. Foxtrot is versatile and is danced to music in 4/4 time, ranging from Big Band standards to contemporary songs.
Want to take your dancing to the next level? Or take your first steps with your partner in a more private setting? Todd is opening up a few slots for one-hour private lessons in ANY of the dances he teaches. Cost is $95 for one hour, lessons take place at Revelry Arts, 869 Alder Ave #3.

For Todd, dance is a positive, joyful experience that provides a wonderful way to connect with people of all backgrounds and walks of life.
He's an American-style, social ballroom dance instructor based in Kamloops, BC. He started taking dance lessons with the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club in Saskatoon with the goal of learning a few skills and patterns for when he went to wedding dances. Instead, he fell in love with social ballroom dance and eventually took his instructor training with the USBDC and taught with them before moving to Kamloops in 2007.
Todd currently teaches Smooth, Latin, and Swing dance styles for the City of Kamloops and Dance With Me Kamloops, a club dedicated to providing people of all skill levels with a place to learn and practice partner-based dancing in a supportive environment.
He has also performed for a variety of events in Kamloops, such as the Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, the TRU Foundation Gala, and the Pink Ribbon Ball, to promote social ballroom dancing within the community.
When he isn’t dancing and teaching, Todd is a consulting archaeologist operating in the southern interior of BC.
