about
Our space
Once upon a time we were a beautiful dance studio in the Glebe and home for Ottawa Zouk Dance Classes, offering weekly Brazilian zouk progressive classes, social dancing, and special weekend events with out-of-town instructors.
Then the COVID pandemic came, and we no longer have the physical space, but remain dedicated to providing a space for Brazilian Zouk in Ottawa.
Our name
Our name originates from the history of the space which we occupied. It was originally the Avalon Theatre, from 1928 to 1956, with the distinction of being the first theatre to show films with sound in Ottawa. Recently, the Acting Company renovated the 2nd floor of the space, and divided it into the Avalon Studio (which is still used by them), and Second Studio, where we now are.
