Overview
The Moulin Rouge has been a source of artistic inspiration for 135 years, but there has never been a memoir from behind its curtains—until now.
In this stunning memoir, renowned dancer and social media sensation Allie Goodbun unveils the fascinating and glittering world of Paris’ Moulin Rouge.
Allie Goodbun started dancing at the age of five in her tiny hometown in Ontario. She learned early on that talent alone was never enough—success would come through resilience, discipline, and the courage to pursue something extraordinary. Those values shaped the course of her life until, at the age of twenty-two, her biggest dreams were realized: She landed a spot in the cast at the iconic Moulin Rouge.
In the years since, Allie has performed at the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics, taught Hoda and Savannah how to do the legendary French Cancan on The Today Show, and walked the red carpet at the Rome premiere of Netflix’s Emily in Paris. She has done it all with an engaged audience following along on Instagram and TikTok.
In Count Me In, Allie tells her story as it has never been shared before while offering a deep dive into the history of the famed cabaret. With personal anecdotes and intimate portraits of those who came before her, Allie’s story captures the true essence of the life of a showgirl, from the dazzling dancefloor to the moments that come after the final curtain closes and ordinary life begins anew.
Straight from the heart of Montmartre, Count Me In captures the magic of the Moulin Rouge and tells the inspiring tale of a dancer who dared to dream.
