You won’t be seeing much of Mocean Dance around this month, because the company---with 5 full-time dancers, including new addition, Chicoutimi’s Tania Jean---is on a tour of New Brunswick, performing in Moncton and doing a residency at Mount Allison University in Sackville. Look for their next local show to hit Halifax in January (22nd to 24th), the premiere a new work by Quebec choreographer Estelle Clareton, it’ll happen at the Dunn Theatre at Dalhousie. Make sure you catch the dazzling, modern dance ensemble then because they don’t stop: They’ll be off again for a full Atlantic tour immediately following, first to Summerside, PEI and then to Newfoundland. 420-4162 Mocean Dance
