Toronto's Nancy Rancourt will make you dance
ON STAGE / Lipstick lesbian, dance diva

Dance diva. The two words just work together.

In the media we like labels. We often call the folk artist humble; the rock artist self-deprecating; the indie musician aloof. And the dance music hottie? So often the diva.

Call it stereotyping, but is it stereotyping when it's true?

Either way, Nancy Rancourt doesn't care. She's Toronto's lesbian dance diva and she's proud of it.

"I don't get out of bed for less than a grand," she says. "I may not be a big major label name, but I've done my time. I tour sparingly, but I get paid well for what I do."

THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR

Feature Article: ASTOUNDING VOCALS FROM STUDIO KNOW-IT-ALL

“The fact that Rancourt has been able to pull it off is as much a testament to her abilities as a technician as her strength a performer”. “True to the profile of it’s maker, the album is a collection of scrappy heart-on-sleeve tunes that buzz with emotion”. Nancy Rancourt is a petite pretty woman from steeltown, not the burly Man of Steel type…on the inside though, They’re basically equals.

THE JOURNAL-PIONEER

Feature Article: NANCY RANCOURT PROVES
SHE IS AN AMAZING ROCK AND POP SINGER

“She can tear right into a rocker (song) or slip silently around a ballad with just as much ease. ‘The Character’
(the song)…Rancourt herself sounds almost like Julie Andrews in this classy pop song that sounds as if Billy Joel could have written it (since it sounds somewhat like “You’re always a Woman to me”). It features multiple layers of beautiful
harmonies”
