Le Québec, on pense souvent que c'est un petit coin de pays et que comme on parle majoritairement français, on a aucune chance de succès à l'internationale. Eh bien, c'est totalement faux et l'une de personnalité publique qui peut prouver le contraire c'est bien Kim Gingras.
En effet, la jeune femme fait beaucoup parler d'elle cette semaine en particulier puisqu'elle a encore une fois dansé avec une grande célébrité. Cette fois-ci, c'est nul autre que la Queen, Ariana Grande, à Coachella!
On a donc envie d'en savoir plus sur elle et je partage avec toi ce que j'ai découvert:
D'abord, elle vient bien de chez nous, puisqu'elle est née à Montréal en 1987.
Elle s'est fait remarquer lors de son passage à l'émission So You Think You Can Dance Canada, puisqu'elle a terminé dans le Top 8.
En 2009, elle a reçu le prix SOBA de la meilleure artiste de danse en 2010.
Peu après, elle va s'installer à Los Angeles avec très peu d'argent, et elle y réside encore aujourd'hui. C'est là que sa carrière internationale a véritablement décollé.
Après deux auditions qui n'ont pas fonctionné, elle a réussi la troisième et a pu danser aux côtés de Beyoncé au Super Bowl de 2013 et par la suite, elle l'a suivi lors de sa tournée européenne.
Durant sa carrière, elle a également dansé avec de nombreuses célébrités telles que Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Chris Brown, Meghan Trainor, Justin Timberlake et Christina Aguilera.
Et ce n'est pas tout ! Elle a performé sur des plateaux importants comme The Voice, Ellen DeGeneres, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, X-Factor and Good Morning America
En 2018, elle devient coach au Québec de l'émission à V nommée Danser pour gagner, un rôle qu'elle maîtrise parfaitement dû à son impressionnante expérience professionnelle.
Depuis janvier, elle sort avec Fred St-Gelais, que l'on connaît majoritairement dû à sa relation avec Marie-Mai. Il faut avouer que Fred et Kim sont trop cutes ensemble et la danseuse professionnelle lui écrit quelques messages d'amour sur Instagram !
Il faut dire que c'est agréable de voir une femme représenter le Québec à l'international, surtout lorsqu'elle est aussi pétillante, douée et un modèle de positivité comme Kim Gingras !

The federal government confirmed at a meeting of Canadian health ministers that it is extending a funding deal on rare disease research, while wider questions on health-care funding remain unanswered.
Federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel told her provincial and territorial counterparts that the $500 million in annual funding for the National Strategy for Drugs for Rare Diseases that was set to expire next year will now be funded on an ongoing basis.
The minister said she also reached an agreement on next steps in talks to deal with other funding issues, including minimum increases for the Canada Health Transfer and the long-term fate of other bilateral agreements.
Michel confirmed late Wednesday that the federal government would extend by one year $1.2 billion in annual funding for mental health, addictions and home care.
She said Friday that the one-year extension on funding that was set to expire in March was to help bridge provinces to the new fall budget schedule.
Michel says she and her regional counterparts agreed they would have another meeting before the end of this year to talk about longer-term funding plans.

A hospital in London, Ont., is cutting more than 100 registered nurse positions in its mental health programs as it tries to balance its budget.
St. Joseph's Health Care London says in a statement that it is removing 83 full-time and 31 part-time RN roles, and adding close to the same number of registered practical nurse, personal support worker, occupational therapist, physiotherapy assistant, social worker and therapeutic recreation assistant roles.
The hospital says it did a model of care review and is updating the service delivery model in its mental health inpatient, regional outpatient and outreach program at Parkwood Institute.
It comes as the hospital recorded its first-ever deficit last year, of $4.7 million, and has a planned operating deficit this year.
The hospital says its goal is to find ways to maintain the quality of core services while it reaches a balanced budget within three years.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones has told all hospitals in the province to eliminate deficits within that timeframe, and she says today in a statement that the government has given hospitals record amounts of funding and will work with them to ensure people have access to high-quality care.

The European Investment Bank has applied for an exemption from foreign bank status in Canada, a move that would bring the lending arm of the European Union one step closer to operating here.
The request was published today in the Canada Gazette, the government's weekly publication listing new regulations and official notices.
The bank and the Canadian government signed a letter of intent in March committing to look for new ways to work together in areas like critical minerals.
The goal of that letter is to help ensure stable supply chains for various minerals and metals used in the clean energy, tech and defence sectors.
The March letter says that while the arrangement does not create financial commitments, it was meant to start discussions on allowing the investment bank to operate in Canada.
This application comes ahead of the Canada-EU Summit in Montreal at the end of October, where Canada and the EU are expected to announce the next steps in a deepening partnership.
