Mocean Dance is a Halifax based contemporary dance company that believes in the value of bringing Nova Scotian art to new audiences nationally and internationally, and pride ourselves on the technically rich, leading-edge dance works that challenge and engage our audiences.

In April 2015, we presented the world premiere of Sable Island, a tour-de-force quintet commissioned from renowned Canadian dance icon Serge Bennathan. The work has been invited to the Canadian Dance Festival in Ottawa.

We're excited to round out our 14th season with such an exciting and important presentation. As we finish up our last fundraising push for 2015-16, we thought we might make it a little more fun --- so watch the coming campaign trailers, pick your favourite perk, and help us celebrate ending the season on a high note! Artistic fees and accommodation are covered by the Canada Dance Festival, but we need your help to cover some pre-production costs (rehearsal time, to bring Choreographer Serge Bennathan back to Halifax to be in the studio during our remount, and to help get the whole team of wild horses to Ottawa including our production personnel).

About the Canada Dance Festival:
The Canada Dance Festival is a national leader on the vanguard of our dance scene, commissioning and presenting the best of Canadian Dance. This year marks the first time Mocean Dance has been invited to present on the festival's stage. This is a big step for the company, and it is a fitting recognition on the eve of our 15th Anniversary season.
