After several years of practicing ballet, Marianne Gignac-Girard turned to contemporary dance, graduating from the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal in 2005. She went on to perform with Cirque du Soleil in the United States and appear in multiple productions with O Vertigo. As both a dancer and a rehearsal director, Gignac-Girard regularly collaborates with emerging Montreal artists. She is thrilled to have been working with Bouge de là for the past three years.

Alongside her dance career, Gignac-Girard teaches Pilates and other movement practices tailored to the physical needs of dancers and non-dancers alike. Her classes combine warmth, sensitivity, and creativity, with an emphasis on encouraging each dancer to explore movement with presence, ease, and freedom.
