Mocean Dance is making waves in the lives of older adults with inclusive and dynamic programming. Their Moving with Mocean and Communities in Mocean programs focus on contemporary dance that helps older adults stay active, improve balance and coordination, and foster social connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through participant feedback, Mocean has tailored classes to be accessible, offering options to dance from a chair or with American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. These classes, held in public spaces like the Halifax Central Library, have become an important resource for many, helping participants build friendships and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannex Cares is proud to support Mocean Dance through our Community Spirit Grants in bringing active living, creativity, and community to older adults across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
