Dancer

All Styles Street Dance Battle

Gabrielle Greener is a Halifax-based whaacker who trains and teaches at House of Eights. While her dance experience includes a wide range of street and commercial styles, including house, heels, hip hop, jazz funk, and fusion, whaacking is the style closest to her heart. Gabrielle has recently begun her career as a choreographer for SOMOS UNO, a show created in collaboration with Carolin Mateus as one of Mocean Dance’s Emerging Artists in Residence for 2022, as well as PANOPTICONICA, created alongside Nicola Popp for the 2023 Halifax Fringe Festival, and Life’s a Drag with director Anna Mona-Pia. She recently collaborated on the creation of ‘The Moment Before the Moment,’ a piece performed as part of Mocean Dance’s SURGE program for emerging artists. She is also a battle dancer, competing in cities across Canada. Her performance credits include SOMOS UNO, PANOPTICONICA, Spring Blooms, Kinetic Dance’s Open Studio Series, Halifax Pride, Vibrancy Fest, Creative Nova Scotia Awards, HFX Mural Fest, and HFX NYE 2024.
