As a young woman evolving in Montreal's streetdance culture, Elie-Anne was introduced to popping in 2006. A style that distinguishes itself by muscle contractions and isolations as well as illusory movement.

She trained for five years with Montreal’s popping pioneers Fon DeVueno Powell, Hitmaster Fish and Handy Yacinthe "MonstaPop" and then decided to issue an artistic autonomy. She fell in love with the art of freestyle dance and participates in international battles. She positions herself as one of the few women in Canada who specializes in this form of urban dance. In 2017, she became a crew member of Symbiotic Monsters.

She has worked for Cirque du Soleil and several festivals in Montreal, including the Just for Laughs, the Jazz Festival, Francofolies and 100Lux festival. She performed for Axelle Munezero, Handy Yacinthe and Saxon Fraser. Their creations made her travel to Morocco, Amsterdam and the United States.

In 2017, she completed her bachelor's degree in contemporary dance at UQAM and became an apprentice at Ebnfloh Company.

She continues to strive for new projects and pushes her art form in urban dance community at large
