Get Tickets – TDT's Open Door Project

Booking Deposit Info

- A $25 deposit is required to secure bookings
- We welcome requests from artists of any dance form / body based practices who meet the eligibility criteria
- Studios are equipped with Marley flooring; tap and flamenco shoes are permitted in select studios, subject to availability

In response to the critical need for affordable rehearsal spaces in Toronto, this project aims to lay the foundation for TDT’s studios to be used more frequently by artists who traditionally face financial barriers in accessing dance space. Each participating artist will be invited to complete a survey at the end of their rental, allowing their valuable feedback to shape future models for renting TDT spaces in better supporting independent artists.

Price $25.00 CAD

Expanding on our existing support programs for Toronto dance artists, TDT's Open Door Project is a pilot initiative that provides subsidized studio rental hours, funded through the Toronto Arts Council / Open Door grant program.

This project offers artists who identify as belonging to TAC’s priority groups, and/or artists currently working on a project without or little funding to book TDT’s studios at a reduced rate of 10$ per hour.

For available dates, see TDT's listings.

Bookings from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Monday through Friday, in blocks of 2-4 hours per booking.

Maximum of 24 hours per candidate over an entire season.

Participants are required to complete a follow-up survey regarding studio access, availability, and associated costs they experience as a dancer/choreographer in Toronto.
