Mocean Dance kicks off their seventh season with Limelight, the company’s fourth annual fundraising gala. The event will be held on October 25th, beginning at 7:30pm, in the Dalhousie McInnes Room, and will include light fare, an enticing silent auction, a fabulous live performance by Mocean Dance and music that will have you dancing into the night. Proceeds will be used to support Mocean’s creation, residency and community outreach programs for the 2008/2009 Season.

The stage will showcase some of Mocean’s favorite works, as well as some unforgettable surprises, created specially for the event. Guests will also see a sneak peek of a brand new piece, choreographed by Montreal’s Estelle Clareton, to be premiered by Live Art Dance Productions in January 2009.

Look for an eclectic and exciting mix of silent auction items, as well as a special raffle for a wine tasting event for six, generously donated by Seven Wine Bar and Restaurant. The event offers a cash bar and is hosted by local business owner, Hali-famous personality and Mocean Dance Board Member, Neville MacKay.
