Miss Sophie Champagne was born the 16th of October – year unknown. She saw the light in a bucolic small village nested in a valley of the northern Italian Alps.
When she was about 16, she moved to Milan, where – while finishing school – she attended the evening classes of the Principessa Dancing School.
After tasting various kind of dance (from classical to modern jazz, from musical to argentine tango) and acting, she starts attending the Burlesque School headed by Mitzi von Wolfgang, where she finds out the magnificent Burlesque show and acted for a short period as an assistant to her teacher in coreography classes.
After only a year of classes, in June 2010 she started to perform burlesque in different Milan’s clubs, then around whole Italy and since January 2011 also abroad, specifically in London, where she is a regular guest star at the Cellar Door, renowned burlesque venue.
Together with her friend and co-worker Titì La Noire she founded the “Noir Champagne” burlesque duo. And they rarely have a free night: they’re booked everywhere in Northern Italy to organise burlesque events and evenings often combined to photography exhibitions, vernissages and concerts.
She also teaches privately Burlesque and some seduction tricks to people working on TV or in the show business in general.
Heads a regular burlesque class at the Cento Fitness Centre in Como.
To always be up to date she attends workshops lead by the most relevant characters of the international burlesque scene such as Angie Pontani, Gypsy Charms and Natsumi Scarlett.
She has been a guest at the Dee Notte Burlesque (a DeeJay TV program) hosted by Nicola and Gianluca Vitiello, together with Eve La Plume, Attilio Reinhardt and other relevant figures of the Italian burlesque.
Sophie’s burlesque’s style is fun, lively, colourful and ironic but also graceful and sexy without lapsing into vulgarity or coarseness.
Miss Sophie Champagne’s repertoire has different acts, some also sung, from classic burlesque (feathers’ fans, corsets and gloves) to new burlesque, exploring all the opportunities offered by this genre, but without going out of her character, a seductive and whimsical past-time diva!
