Highly recommended. If you are not sure if a class at Rouge is for you, read on. I apprehensively signed up for a burlesque class a year and a half ago to take me out of my comfort zone. I really didn't think I'd fit in being a skinny, flat chested older woman. The first class, I was met with all sorts of diverse people, also looking to expand their horizons. Little did I realize I'd just joined an amazingly inclusive and supportive family and community that boost each other up, especially when you need it the most. I am still with Rouge Studio, learning so much more than the art of performance. I have met amazing friends and feel more confident than ever before. Thanks Rouge Studio of Dance !

I took my first Beginner Burlesque class with Randi Rouge in 2018 and am so grateful for the joy and camaraderie that burlesque brought to my life. I highly recommend the Rouge Studio of Dance to anyone wanting to add some fun and movement to their lives, ESPECIALLY for anyone wanting to reconnect with movement and rhythm. Their instructors are welcoming and encouraging, and thanks to their support I've had the wonderful opportunity to dance with the Saintly Sinners (choreography by Saffron Saint James) and the Rougettes (choreography by Randi Rouge). As a 50+ grey-haired woman who loves to dance and make people laugh, I couldn't ask for a more supportive and encouraging environment.

I joined rouge studio of dance in 2019 for the beginner burlesque class and am now in the level 3 troupe class. All instructors I’ve had have made me feel included and empowered. They truly do help create a supportive environment amongst the students, and it feels like we’re all rooting for each other! I love the vibes here and would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a safe, inclusive, fun studio to explore burlesque/other dance.

Amazing camaraderie! I am part of one of the burlesque's troupe and as soon that I've arrived I felt welcomed and loved already. Even during the pandemic, you could feel the love and the support from the owner Randi and the girls from the troupe. It just feels like a second family. It also helped me to gain confidence and feel sexy in a way that I never felt before. I totally recommand this studio of dance to anyone! :)

My life has changed since taking lessons with Randi last November. I’ve never felt more confident, sexy, proud of my body or entertaining in my whole life! Burlesque at Rouge Studio is an amazing way to feel good about yourself, make new friends and have fun. I also took Bellydancing with Randi and wow, what a workout!!! I got into incredible shape over the winter with this class and could even see abs?! Do yourself a favour and try a class out, you won’t regret it!
