At Rising Tide, you’re not just joining a dance school, you’re joining a community. We pride ourselves on offering some of the best Irish dance instruction in Atlantic Canada. Equally, we work hard to ensure our dancers, and their families, have the best experience possible too.
We created a handbook for members of the Rising Tide community. Divided into sections, it contains information about Rising Tide, Irish dance, a dancer’s guide, exams and feiseanna and equipment/costuming.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:
- Accepted products document: guidance on what shoes and socks are acceptable for dance classes at Rising Tide
