  The Dance Master

Philip Brady, TCRG certified Irish Dance teacher and World Champion Irish step dancer and performer heads up the Brady Academy of Irish Dance in Winnipeg. His accomplishments and credentials as a true professional have been instrumental in showcasing the beauty and excitement of Irish Dance to audiences around the world.

Philip began dancing at 10 years of age in Dublin, Ireland. During his competitive years Philip achieved champion status, winning 10 consecutive Canadian Irish Dance, 3 North American, and 5 World Championship titles.

As a performer, Philip shone in his own production of “Dream of Ireland” for Walt Disneyworld Productions, and thrilled audiences during his extensive tour with the international production, “Lord of the Dance”. Philip continues to perform, most recently touring the United States in Tomaseen Foley’s 2005 holiday feature, A Celtic Christmas, and headlining and choreographing in Will Millar’s production, “Ireland – Where the Song and Dance Began”.

Philip’s unique style, boundless energy and loose, yet mechanically precise footwork permit him to stretch the versatility of Irish Dance to its very limit. He has produced numerous champion dancers and travels extensively throughout North America direction workshops.

Dancing with the feet is one thing….but dancing with the heart is another.”
