Hello future starlette!


Welcome to the Rouge Academy – a burlesque and cabaret school where you can dive into the art of sensuality and striptease. At Rouge, we embrace all ages, genders, sizes, dreams and artistic journeys. Here, your whole world will undergo a true transformation! Together, we’ll explore the classic roots of burlesque, partecipate in workshops with top international stars, and dive deep into showgirl make-up, flexibility, show-biz ethics and even some elements of acting.

Yearly course


Eight months to master the art of burlesque: from October to June. This will be a journey of self-discovery, embracing both your body and your sensuality. Weekly classes will not only teach you how to seduce, but will also connect you with like-minded people, sharing in an experience of growth, learning, and support within an artistic family.

Whether you are a beginner or a future diva, there is a path for you here. If you are just starting your burlesque adventure, our beginner classes will introduce you to the essentials of this art form: gloves, boas, gowns, suspenders, corsets, and more.

For those with experience, our advanced classes offer the chance to refine your acts, character, costumes and performance. Whatever your story, here you’ll have the freedom to express yourself and truly shine.
