Started coaching at Rising Tide: 2018

What Steph loves about Irish dance: I love so many things about Irish dance, but I’d have to say my favourite is the supportive community. It takes a village, and I’ve learned so much from so many people over the years. I’ve built lifelong friendships and partnerships.

What Steph loves about coaching: I love being able to pass along the lessons, tips and tricks that I have learned over my 25+ years of dancing. It’s incredibly rewarding to work with students of all levels and help them crush their goals.

Steph’s favourite Irish dance memory: One of my favourite dancing memories was dancing on stage at the 2019 ECRO representing Rising Tide and being supported by the RTIDA fam and friends. It was an incredible weekend of dancing and fun and I accomplished a personal best, placing 2nd overall in Senior Ladies.

Something dancers are likely to hear Steph say in class: They’re likely to hear me say “one more time” when drilling and it may not be the last time, oops. Also likely to hear me singing and dancing around while warming up!
