ScotFestBC is delighted to welcome V’ni Dansi, a Vancouver-based traditional Métis and contemporary dance company dedicated to sharing the dances, stories, and culture of the Métis. Led by Artistic Director Yvonne Chartrand, the company is dedicated to Métis cultural preservation and innovation, presenting three creative themes: traditional and contemporary Métis jigging, and Indigenous contemporary dance.

Dancers perform Métis dance under the name- the Louis Riel Métis Dancers, and contemporary works as V'ni Dansi.

V’ni Dansi holds the distinction of being the only company in Canada to teach and perform both Métis and contemporary dance. Meaning “Come and Dance” in Mitchif, V’ni Dansi is thrilled to share the Métis people’s joyful culture with audiences of all nations.
