Passionate about all things Irish Dance, Rising Tide’s coaches tailor their teaching to each dancer, knowing every dancer has the potential to be a champion. Rising Tide opened in January 2015, and has been sharing Irish dance with children and adults across Halifax and Bedford ever since. As an art form and a sport, Irish dance offers something for everyone. Using both hard shoes and soft shoes, Irish dance can be percussive and powerful, as well as athletic and elegant. Rising Tide dancers have performed for many audiences in Halifax, ranging from broadcast news, city festivals, Irish associations, corporate functions, community events, and more, bringing their music, fast feet, and exciting energy to all. They first performed with Symphony Nova Scotia in March 2018 along with Heather Rankin and Evans & Doherty. For more information visit risingtideacademy.ca.
