Amélie Larade & Louise Aucoin & Lilianne Cormier
Amélie, Louise, and Lilianne are members of la Petite Brise (meaning a small wind), a group of young dancers in the dance troupe La Swing du Suête. All three girls hail from beautiful Cheticamp, an area rich in music, dance and culture. Although young dancers, they have been dancing for more than a few years. You can also catch Amélie with her other dancing partner, Christopher Poirier, in the early part of the festival.
Asham Stompers
Formed in 2002, the Asham Stompers are a very high energy Jig and Square Dance group from Manitoba that brings fans to their feet everywhere they perform. Their mission is “…to help recapture and preserve the history of the Métis people through the Traditional dancing of Red River Jig”. They combine “Red River Jig” with traditional square dance aptly called the “Red River Dance”. The Stompers took Celtic Colours audiences by storm in 2011, and there was just no question that we would get them back for this year’s festival.
