Transforming lives through the art of dance since 2009
Founded in 2009 in the vibrant heart of Nigeria, The Dance Deal Training Foundation (TDDTF) is a beacon of hope, talent, and opportunity. Established with a profound mission to nurture and elevate the artistic talents of young individuals, TDDTF is a platform for excellence and we believe that every young person deserves the chance to express themselves through the powerful medium of dance.
Our founders, themselves accomplished dancers and educators, recognized the lack of accessible dance training in Nigeria, particularly for those from underprivileged backgrounds. With determination and unwavering commitment, they established TDDTF to bridge this gap, offering free dance training classes to students who show promise and passion, regardless of their financial situation.
The program has graduated several sets of professionals who have gone on to become top dance artistes, instructors and choreographers in the country thereby empowering them to be part of several productions in and out of the country. Examples of such productions include Maltina Dance All, Saro the musical, Wakaa the musical etc. Others have established and run dance companies of their own. Some of these students have also been granted international scholarships, through the support of Corporate Dance World.
At TDDTF, our mission is simple yet profound: to unlock the potential within every student through the transformative power of dance. We believe that dance is more than just movement; it is a language, a discipline, and a path to personal growth.
Our vision is to be Nigeria's top platform for dance excellence, inspiring, nurturing, and showcasing exceptional talent. We're dedicated to creating an inclusive space for creativity and cultural expression, setting a high standard for dance.
Since 2009, we've trained over 3,000 young dancers, many now thriving in the arts. Through strong partnerships with organizations, we provide courses and showcase opportunities, helping dancers build essential skills and connections.
We will expand outreach to underserved communities in Nigeria and provide quality dance education. Specialized courses will help dancers diversify their skills, and an online platform will offer resources and networking opportunities.
