Violaine Bonnassies

Violaine Bonnassies began working with MamaDances in 2014 after following a course herself with her first child. She enjoys encouraging other parents and their children to explore the joys of connecting through dance. It was when she took up Flamenco that Violaine was first drawn to dance and felt the importance of connecting to the body. Over the years, she has continued to pursue Flamenco in Montreal and through regular visits to Spain. She has also enjoyed gaining body awareness through other disciplines such as contemporary ballet, Skinner Releasing Technique, Tai Chi and Yoga. In 2016, she began studying dance therapy with the Grands Ballets Canadiens in Montreal and hopes to continue experiencing and sharing the benefits of dancing.
