They say letting go is a skill of its own.
Easier said than done.

It’s been over a decade since I foolishly turned my hobby into a business. Since then, life has happened, two beautiful kids, COVID, separation, countless sacrifices and somehow, through it all, I’ve managed to keep it going.

I have so much love for what I’ve created, what I’ve built, and what it has meant to so many people over the years. That’s what makes this so hard.

As I prepare to step into a new chapter of my life, one of the things I may sadly have to leave behind is Haliente.

I’m currently looking for dedicated people who would be interested in taking over what I’ve built and bringing new energy and vision to it. Haliente has always been more than just a business it’s been a community, a home, and a dream.

If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please reach out for more information or to discuss an offer. Serious inquiries only.

Until then, I plan to keep things running as they are. And who knows maybe accepting that it’s time to let go is exactly what I need to fall back in love with it again.

✨ INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT ✨
Meet Phil & Pany 🔥💃🕺

Phil and Pany are passionate social dancers and instructors specializing in Kizomba, with a strong focus on musicality, connection, and social dance technique.

Phil began his dance journey in 2003 with Dal Swing, later expanding into ballroom and Latin styles while training privately with Cindy Daniel. In 2021, he immersed himself in Halifax’s Latin dance scene through Haliente, studying Salsa, Bachata, and the full spectrum of Kizomba styles under Brigitte Aucoin.

Pany began dancing in 2023, quickly falling in love with Salsa and Bachata before diving deep into Kizomba training in 2024.

Together, they’ve trained at Kizomba congresses across Canada and internationally and in 2026, they placed 🥈 2nd at the Mexico Kizomba Congress social dance competition.

Come join them April 8th for their first class with Haliente.
