Majors prep
An additional session for dancers competing in the Eastern Canadian Regional Oireachtas (solo, teams and premiere). A highly focused class aimed at perfecting technique and performance for required Oireachtas dances. The dance classes include drills, full rounds, and mock performances to ensure competitors are prepared to put their best foot forward at the oireachtas. For times and dates, please see Schedule & Dates.
Classes are only open to dancers attending the oireachtas.
Private lessons
A dance class focused on honing a dancer’s skills and fine tuning the execution of their dances. Dancers will spend time picking apart and perfecting movements under the trained eye of an expert coach. A great complement to weekly classes, whether consistently throughout the year or in preparation for specific events. Private lessons are tailored to the needs and goals of individual dancers, and are delivered one-on-one or shared between two dancers in the same class.
Studio rentals
Rising Tide dancers are entitled to a special rental rate. Rentals are allowed anytime the studio is otherwise not in use. Agreements must be signed for rentals each time so please email to book. Fore more information about our studios, please visit our studio page.
Open studio
Open to all Rising Tide dancers at all levels. Open studio is for self-guided practice. A coach will be there to provide supervision and ensure music is shared fairly for those in attendance but they are not there to teach steps etc. Dancers can attend all or some of the session and will be charged according to spending more than, or less than, one hour.
