MILE ZERO DANCE SEASON 2023-24

Mile Zero Dance (MZD) is a dance-based arts non-profit organization based out of Edmonton, Canada, and is a member of the CanDance Network of presenters, the Alberta Dance Alliance, and Theatre Alberta. Since 1985  we have been devoted to the creation, training, and presentation of contemporary dance, and moved into producing complete seasons of artistic works in 2005.  

We are honoured to work in Treaty Six territory, which has been safeguarded by the Cree, Nakota, Blackfoot, Dene, Metis, and other Indigenous groups who prospered here before settlers arrived, and continue to make Edmonton a rich and generous place to live and work.
