Angie Augustin took a big risk when she left her hospital administration job to pursue a career in content creation and dance, but it seems to be paying off.
A Montreal dancer who has gained fame on TikTok is about to bring her infectious energy to living rooms across the country.
Angie Augustin, or Citron Rose as she’s known online, has just become a big part of Ubisoft’s wildly successful Just Dance video game franchise.
She appears in Just Dance 2023, dancing a routine she choreographed herself.
“I feel like I will indirectly share some great moments with people that I don’t know because it’s a game that you play with people that you love,” she told Global News in an interview.
If there’s a gamer in your house, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Just Dance. The franchise has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. The player who does the best job accurately mimicking the dance moves of the dancer on the screen is the winner.

“I used to play with my brother and sister whenever there was a birthday party at the house or the holidays,” Augustin recalled with a smile. “We would try to get my mom to play.”
Augustin was working in the administration department of a Montreal hospital up until last year. When she started gaining fame on TikTok for her exuberant dance moves and her humour, she quit her job to focus on content creation and dancing.
