Rising Tide Irish Dance Academy

Whether you are a dancer, parent or fan, you can show your Tide Pride wherever you go with team clothing. Our Malley Sport clothing store is open for online orders once again. This order period is scheduled to close Sept. 13.

Please note that we only open this store once or twice a year, and this gear is only available to purchase during these periods as it is all made-to-order. This will be the final order period for Malley Sport in 2026. Delivery is scheduled for Oct. 30 and all items will arrive to Rising Tide and we will distribute from the studio.

To order, go to https://malleyteam.com/collections/rising-tide-irish-dance-academy-can.

The current dance year is nearly at its close. Please be reminded that the last day of 2025/26 dance classes is Thursday, August 20. Classes for the new dance year begin on Thursday, September 10.

Of note, those dancers entering Advanced and Championship for the 2026/27 dance year have fall workshop from August 21 to 24.

Enjoy the final days of summer and best of luck for those gearing up to return to new school years.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Charchar! 💙

Charchar has been a coach for much longer than she’s been formally coaching. She is thoughtful, fun, kind, and always looking for ways to help the people around her. Whether she’s offering support, sharing advice, lending a hand, or cheering someone on, she brings so much care to everything she does.

This year, Charchar was our Tide Pride Award winner for all the ways she supports and guides both her fellow dancers and those coming up behind her, and it couldn’t have been more deserved. She celebrates every dancer’s success with so much genuine excitement, and has a wonderful way of making other people’s wins feel worth celebrating.

We are so lucky to have Charchar as part of Rising Tide, and we love her very much. Happy Birthday! 🥳💙

🎉 Happy Birthday, Brooke! 💙

Brooke is thoughtful, practical, and always seems to have an eye for exactly what we need. She is the queen of rhythm and tricky bits, and somehow has a way of figuring things out, making them make sense, and helping us all get a little bit better.

She is always there to help, push us, encourage us, and cheer us on, and just as importantly, to laugh with us and commiserate with us when we need it. We are so lucky to have her as part of our Rising Tide family and we love her very much.

We hope you have the happiest birthday, Brooke! 🥳💙

Another summer of dance camps complete! Thanks everyone for spending part of your summer season with us 🌞.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Blaire! 💙

Blaire brings so much warmth and kindness to Rising Tide. She’s always smiling, always ready to help, and has a way of making everyone around her feel welcome and supported.

She works incredibly hard, encourages others to do their best, and brings such a genuine love of dance into everything she does. We’re so lucky to have her as part of our Rising Tide family.

We hope you have the happiest birthday, Blaire! 🥳💙

Thank you to Feis Nova Scotia and Greene School of Irish Dance for a great feis day, and for making these opportunities happen in Atlantic Canada!

Congrats to all the Team Tide dancers. You danced and placed well, but you cared for each other even better. We're so proud of this team. 💙🌊

Happy Birthday Halifax! We had a blast in this morning's Natal Day Parade and even walked away with the award for Best Community Group. Love where we live (and dance)!
