Welcome to Haliente Creative Studio!

Dance is not a competition, it’s a passion

Haliente Creative Studio's vision is to offer a space that allows dancers to grow. We have been located in downtown Halifax since 2016, originally under the name Salsa Dura. Our goal, then, now and always is to provide dancers of all ages, levels and backgrounds a place for creative self-expression, exercise, education  and social interaction. We offer a variety of classes, social dances, events and dance programs with price options for all levels of interest.

Come dance with us at our next social or event!

OUR CREATIVE STUDIO

Our creative studio space is perfect for movement-based activities such as dance, rehearsals, classes, workshops, special events, and performances. Haliente Creative Studio is also open to arts-based (professional and amateur) activities such as photography, theatre, and art exhibits.

Its classic, Victorian style is complemented by a modern touch that makes this studio a truly creative space. Also overlooking Barrington Street, but from the third floor, is  Studio 2 (700 square feet of open space with a 9-foot ceiling) which has been newly renovated into a modern style dance studio, with a touch Victorian....

Both studios are fully equipped with HVAC, mirrors, sound systems and numerous lighting options. Each studio has its own washroom, common area, change area and elevator.
