Aroussen Gros-Louis
A proud ambassador of the Wendat Nation, Aroussen Gros-Louis began Indigenous dance at the age of five. Deeply aware of the gift she has received, she knows she must dance to keep her being in balance — the connection to this art has become vital. Since 2003, dance has taken her across the world as a representative of her community and Indigenous culture.
Her intention is to offer love to the audience while sharing the values, culture, language, and spirituality of the First Nations. She also leads retreats under the theme “le pas sage vers l’ascension de soi” (“the sacred step toward self-ascension”), with the mission of promoting peace and understanding among peoples.
When she dances, she prays for those who suffer and need encouragement. Since 2014, Aroussen has chosen the Red Road — a path that follows the footsteps of her ancestors toward a life free from dependency. Promoting her culture and keeping it alive requires her to strive for the best version of herself, maintaining her medicine wheel in balance. Her many years involved in healing ceremonies have given her deep cultural and spiritual knowledge of the First Nations.
