Started coaching at Rising Tide: 2015

What Brooke loves about Irish dance: I love the community that Irish dance creates. It truly feels like my dance friends from over the years are part of my family.

What Brooke loves about coaching: I love being able to help people reach their goals. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching dancers improve and seeing how happy they are when they accomplish something they’ve been working towards.

Brooke’s favourite Irish dance memory: My favourite Irish dance memory is winning my second first in Prelim, allowing me to move into Open and compete at North Americans. The feis took place on the last weekend before registration closed for North Americans and my mom and I had travelled all the way to Arkansas, which made it even more special when I won.

Something dancers are likely to hear Brooke say in class: During drills, dancers will definitely hear me ask “Whatcha working on?”
