“Dance is the hidden language of the soul” -Martha Graham
One, and two, and three and Dance! Not all TIDE Academy students attend Tidal Dancers, but you can often see those who do taking brief pauses around the school to express themselves through dance. Tidal Dancers brings together adolescence ages 3 to 18 and provides a range of different dance classes. Not only do the current dance students love Tidal Dancers, it also has many other benefits for youth. Tidal Dancers was founded in 2016 by Emily Brown.
Growing up in dance, Emily always wanted to create a space where children could have a creative outlet to express themselves through movement. Emily has grown up dancing and understands the values of having dance as an artistic channel for life.
Most of the Emily’s dance experience was gained while growing up in Houston and dancing at Dance Dimensions. Later, she continued perusing dance and training in London, England before finding her way to Costa Rica, where she has lived for 7 years.
In addition to running the Dance Academy and tutoring, Emily has been a veteran member of TIDE Academy since the schools third year. Emily’s biggest strength as a teacher is her ability to build relationships with her students. This quality has made Tidal Dancers a favorite for many of her students.
