Rising Tide is a collaborative evening of dance and a celebration of the female

choreographic voice featuring the work of five local female choreographers representing a wide variety of dance styles. Inspired by the proverb, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” this performance was created by the dance community for the audience to experience professional dance in Spokane that is simultaneously fierce and enfolding, challenging, and uplifting.
