In 2003 Todd traveled to Blackpool with the formation team at UVSC in Orem, and went on to win the same trophy that his parents had won 31 years earlier.

He has taught every level of dancer from social and beginning couples to competitive dancers, including countless nervous wedding couples for their first dance together.

He also teaches correct technique for, posture, timing, styling, power, musicality, including proper etiquette of ballroom dancing as students advance.
He has an easy going and professional demeanor which helps the students feel at ease and comfortable as they learn.
