Welcome to the Rouge Academy: a burlesque and cabaret academy where you will be able to discover the art of sensuality and striptease. At Rouge, we don’t care about age, gender, size, dreams or artistic path: When you join the Academy, your whole world will be a revolution! We will be studying the great burlesque classics, doing workshops with top international stars, and taking in-depth classes in showgirl make-up, flexibility, and ethics. And why not, even some elements of acting.
We believe that everyone has their own path to take: you can perform on stage when you are ready, or learn the art of seduction to rediscover yourself and seduce the world! I am Ella Bottom Rouge and I am looking forward to taking you on a glamorous journey.
Eight months to learn the art of burlesque: from October to June. It will be a journey of discovery for your body and your sensuality. Weekly classes where you will not only learn to seduce, but share this adventure with like-minded people. A journey of sharing and learning with an artistic family where everyone supports each other.
There is a path for you, whether you are a beginner or a future diva. If you are about to take your first adventure in burlesque, our basic classes will guide you through the fundamentals of this stage art: gloves, boas, gowns, suspenders, corsets, and more.
On the other hand, if you have experience, our advanced classes give you the opportunity to work on your acts, character, costumes and performance. Whatever your story, here you have the freedom to express yourself and shine.
For those who want a more personalized learning experience, Rouge Academy offers one-on-one private classes. These classes are designed to focus on individual needs. These classes are the perfect place to hone your technique, develop your theatricality, explore improvisation, or create a custom choreography.
Suitable for those with professional needs and those who want to make their everyday life sparkle. Either way, the focus will be on you, your expression and your growth as a new burlesque starlet.
I look forward to seeing you together as we begin this journey to make you shine like the star you are.
The Burlesque Workshops of the Rouge Academy are a complete immersion into the world of sensuality and expression. Usually held over the weekend, these gatherings are unique occasions, special events designed to take burlesque to a whole new level.
Each workshop has a specific theme. There’s always something new and exciting to discover. For example, Chamber Striptease, where you will learn how to transform your home into a glittering stage and how to turn yourself into a boudoir diva. Or a tassel twirling workshop that will take you deeper into this expressive and playful practice. Or maybe we’ll work on perfecting your poses and moves so that you feel like a real star every time you step out on stage.
These workshops are always led by established artists and professionals. They enrich the experience with their uniqueness and talent.
