André Bessette is a grateful settler and Métis visitor to the unceded and ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Reconnecting to family, urban cousins, and culture has meant learning Métis jigging.
As an unconventionally trained dancer, André values community approaches to the exchange of dance. He has trained in swing, breakdancing, house, acrobatics, and burlesque. André believes there are no barriers to dance
