Discover three iconic acts!
On September 24 & 25, exclusively for Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse, Crazy Horse Paris will showcase three iconic tableaux from its repertoire: But I’m A Good Girl, Miss Bisou and Baby Buns. Faithful to the artistic DNA of the cabaret, these three creations celebrate a free and unapologetic femininity through dance, light, costume and staging that is at once glamorous, daring and infused with humour.
From the playful, candy-coloured world of Miss Bisou to the explosive energy of the legendary But I’m A Good Girl—later featured by Christina Aguilera in Burlesque—and the retro-chic, mischievous spirit of Baby Buns, these tableaux embody the creativity and distinctive codes that have defined Crazy Horse Paris since 1951.
An invitation to rediscover three emblematic facets of a House unlike any other, a true monument to French artistic creation.
An experience like no other!
On September 26 at 2:30 PM, Crazy Horse Paris invites you to reveal your “Crazy Spirit”!
This immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to discover the secrets behind the iconic attitude of the Crazy Horse Paris dancers. Join Pia Petitpas, one of the troupe’s emblematic dancers, for a free 45-minute workshop open to all, exploring the fundamentals that define the cabaret’s signature style: confidence, elegance, presence and freedom of movement. Through exercises focused on posture, walking and gaze, participants learn how to build self-confidence and cultivate a natural stage presence. The session continues with the learning of a short choreography, offering an introduction to the movement and rhythm that characterize the dancers of the legendary Parisian cabaret.
Open to everyone, Crazy Spirit is an invitation to step outside your comfort zone and discover how a few gestures, a posture or a glance can transform the way you carry yourself, move through the world and reveal yourself to others.

Crazy Horse Paris will open The Dubai Edition, a new permanent show created specifically for Dubai, beginning in November 2026. The show will be operated by 111 Management, a partner based in the United Arab Emirates.
Presented at Zabeel Theatre, which has been completely renovated for the occasion, within the luxury Jumeirah Zabeel Saray complex on Palm Jumeirah, The Dubai Edition will be the only permanent Crazy Horse Paris show presented outside the original cabaret, founded in 1951 in Paris’ 8th arrondissement.
The new show The Dubai Edition has been conceived as a complete entertainment experience, combining live performance, immersive design, dining and a late-night musical program. “Opening a permanent Crazy Horse Paris show in Dubai represents a significant step in the international development of our company. We are creating an experience that remains faithful to the artistic heritage of Crazy Horse Paris while responding to the specific context and international audience of Dubai” explains Philippe Lhomme, President and CEO of Crazy Horse Paris.

A NEW PERMANENT SHOW CREATED FOR DUBAI
Conceived under the artistic direction of Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer of Crazy Horse Paris, The Dubai Edition brings together the artistic heritage and savoir-faire of Crazy Horse Paris with a new production developed specifically for Dubai.
The Crazy Horse Paris dancers are at the center of the production, shaped by light, graphic projections, optical illusions, and precise choreography. Twelve dancers will perform each evening, drawn from a cast of 18 professional dancers selected internationally. The dancers completed several months of intensive training in Paris, to master the choreographic language specific to Crazy Horse Paris. International specialty artists and acrobats appear throughout the production, as well as a Master of Ceremonies and a DJ.
Signature tableaux from the Crazy Horse Paris repertoire, including works by acclaimed French choreographer Philippe Decouflé, are presented alongside new creations, new costumes and artistic elements developed specifically for The Dubai Edition.
More than 500 costume pieces have been created for the show. Designed by illustrator and designer Antoine Kruk, who has collaborated with artists and fashion houses such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Thierry Mugler, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, and others, they are handmade to measure in Paris by the Crazy Horse Paris couture atelier. The costumes form an integral part of the choreography, lighting and visual composition of each tableau.
“With The Dubai Edition, our objective was to create a show that is immediately identifiable as Crazy Horse Paris while developing a production specifically conceived for Dubai. It draws on our artistic heritage, visual language and creative precision, while introducing new elements adapted to the venue and its audience,” explains Andrée Deissenberg.
ONE SHOW, TWO WAYS TO GO CRAZY
The Dubai Edition will be presented in two formats each night: the show and the dinner show. The show presents approximately 80 minutes of Crazy Horse Paris performance and is similar to the Parisian format.
The dinner show —a new addition for the Parisian venue, conceived in the style of Dubai’s renowned nightlife — unfolds over approximately three hours, combining performance, dining and entertainment. The dancers, specialty artists, Master of Ceremonies and DJ perform throughout the evening, creating a continuous relationship between the stage, the dining room and the audience.
Chef Dejan Cirovic proposes a menu combining French and international influences, accompanied by a selection of champagnes, wines and signature cocktails developed for The Dubai Edition. Following the final tableau, the evening continues with the DJ and a late-night musical program developed in keeping with the visual identity and atmosphere of Crazy Horse Paris.

AN INTIMATE AND IMMERSIVE VENUE
To welcome The Dubai Edition, Zabeel Theatre has been entirely refurbished and transformed into an intimate 200-seat cabaret designed to reflect the atmosphere and visual codes of the original Crazy Horse Paris venue.
At its center is a faithful recreation of the Crazy Horse Paris stage, complemented by four additional performance areas positioned throughout the venue. Artists perform on and around these different stages, creating a closer relationship between the performers and the audience.
The experience begins in the foyer, which includes private loges, a French-inspired bar and “The Legacy Hall”, which presents the history and the artistic collaborations of Crazy Horse Paris through images and archives. The Dubai Edition is both a new show and a new destination, blending 75 years of Parisian artistic heritage with the energy of Dubai.

Miss Fortunia
“At the beginning of my career, in October 1952, I saw at Folies Bergère a dancer with angel wings named Fortunia… a magnificent artist… they had not given her the place her beauty deserved.”
So recalled Alain Bernardin in 1971, speaking about the woman who would become the first dancer of Crazy Horse Paris.
Rita Cadillac
Alain Bernardin described Rita Cadillac as “tall, slender like a thoroughbred, with a body of warm amber color, long hair with red highlights, and green eyes with a strange lilac gaze.” He created her first solo: a satin dress slowly coming apart beneath fur coat. To a fast modern rhythm, she emerges from a lingerie set. She leaves the stage as a white fox slides along her body. That performance made her a sensation across Paris.
Zara Nevada
“We were treated like princesses” recalled Zara Nevada. But that level of visibility came at a cost. Between shows, rehearsals, TV appearances, photoshoots, and press, there was barely time for anything else. Offers came her way, but being a Crazy Horse Paris dancer wasn’t just a job, it was total commitment.
Rita Xenon
... Rita Xenon appeared in films throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but perhaps her most unexpected legacy came decades later. Her memoir inspired producer Dominique Besnehard to develop ‘Ça, c’est Paris!’ (2024), a TV series inspired by the hidden lives of Parisian showgirls, featuring icons like Monica Bellucci, Christian Louboutin, and showgirl legend Line Renaud.
Lova Moor
Lova reimagined cabaret as an avant-garde expression of French glamour, merging the aesthetic codes of French chic with the liberated spirit of the 1970s. Her performances dissolved the boundaries between eroticism and art, mastering the power of pole technique and the theatricality of Eartha Kitt. In one night, she could shift from the precision of a choreographed piece to crawling onstage lip syncing to a lion’s growl.
Polly Underground
Often described as the dancer who came closest to founder Alain Bernardin’s artistic ideal, Polly Underground didn’t just become one of the most famous showgirls at Crazy Horse Paris. She became the standard. In her, Bernardin found a reference point, and ever since, dancers have been measured against her. No surprise. She had it all: technique, beauty, presence.
Galia Paderewska
Short-haired, blonde and blue eyed, this Slavic beauty was constantly promoted as one of the defining faces of the cabaret, alongside icons like Lova Moor and Polly Underground. In 1976, while Alain Bernardin was filming “Crazy Horse de Paris”, a multi million-dollar movie about the venue, she was featured prominently. Even within a cast made up entirely of glamorous and highly charismatic women, she stood out.
Dodo d'Hambourg
The daughter of a Protestant pastor, she grew up in a conservative household, in a home attached to the back of a church. Her young years were marked by World War II, and after her father’s death, she became her family’s provider. Cabaret entered her life out of necessity, and it quickly became her path..
Bettina Uranium
She joined Crazy Horse Paris in 1964, and in the years that followed, became part of some of its most iconic acts. A 1970 interview captures her perfectly. A playful diva, detached, self-aware: “I like to live in luxury. The easy, disorganized life is for me. Having my photograph taken, drinking champagne when I feel like it — especially in the bath in the morning. I hate sentimentality and public demonstrations of affection. I’m Bettina — surely, that’s enough.”
Trucula Bonbon
She lived a quiet and structured life, but everything changed when she met Luciano Ghion, a young Italian working as a waiter in Germany. They fell in love quickly and decided to marry, despite her parents’ disapproval.
Luciano, who had worked in bars and clubs across Europe, saw something in her: Showgirl potential. Not just beauty, but presence. The idea of cabaret didn’t feel impossible: she had the look, charisma, and a quiet desire to see the world. So they took a risk. With very little money, they built her act from scratch, hiring a French choreographer, designing costumes, shaping a performance. And it worked.
Stella Patchouli
Born in Iran, she grew up in a Swiss boarding school, where she became a polyglot (Persian, English, German, French) and trained in ballet, a discipline that would quietly shape everything that followed. As a teenager, she ran away, boarding a midnight train to Munich. Young, striking, and classically trained, she moved quickly into Europe’s nightclub circuit. Cabaret wasn’t the plan, but it was part of her destiny.
Lexy, Didi, Sienna & Zoe: four new dancers join the troupe
Every night, they embody far more than a show: a vision of femininity that is free, daring, and uncompromising. What sets a Crazy Horse Paris dancer apart is rarely something that can be taught. It's that indefinable something, a charisma, a presence, that reveals itself from the very first audition, and that simply can't be explained.
Meet our 4 new recruits: Sienna Bohème, Didi Leon, Lexy Ray and Zoe Showcase.

«I was so emotional, I cried… When I was a child, I was already singing this song! »
