Anik Bissonnette
Dancer
Anik Bissonnette began her training at the École de danse Eddy Toussaint, primarily under Camilla Malashenko.
In 1979, she joined Mr. Toussaint’s troupe, Le Ballet de Montréal Eddy Toussaint.
Her extraordinary physical attributes—long arms, elegant hyper-extended legs and high arches, combined with her feline agility and beautiful face
set her apart from the other dancers and garnered her leading roles right from the start.
Under Mr. Toussaint’s artistic direction, Ms. Bissonnette formed a memorable partnership with Louis Robitaille.
In 1989, Ms. Bissonnette joined Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal and was named principal dancer the following year, thus gaining access to roles that showcased the full range of her enormous talent.
