Headmistress, Creator & Instructor
Kiki Chèrie
Seen as a matriarch in the Norwegian Burlesque scene, Kiki has mentored many performers, both local and international awardwinners, and teaches all levels in the Art of the Tease here at the Oslo School of Burlesque. In her classes you get to experience both classic and neo burlesque, as well as fandance and heels technique.
Kiki's unique approach to teaching burlesque is truly inspiring! Combining her dance expertise with a deep psychological understanding from her degrees in Applied Psychology and Dance & Movement therapy, she empowers her students to not only master the technical aspects of burlesque but also to develop a profound appreciation for their own bodies and identities.
