About this business
Abady alzahrani launched House of Eights Dance Studio in 2019, quickly becoming the heart of Halifax and Atlantic Canada's dance communities. It started with a shared space above a Barrington Street restaurant.
Within two months, we had outgrown that space. We moved into another, one block away, ensuring we could welcome more dancers and provide the best environment to study. Our instructors will enhance your dancing journey, no matter your aspirations or age, from adult beginners to seasoned pros. Our mission is to provide a professional and safe environment for dancers to create and enjoy dance. Additionally, through this site, it's always rewarding to greet new dancers who are eager about their fitness, community, and fun.
Our philosophy is to enable people from all walks of life to believe in themselves, and feel secure in their community. We also seek to boost people's skills in the arts, dance, and socializing. We strive to create a community where all dancers can realize their potential and excel, so our dance classes are designed to make you the best dancer you could be.
