🎁 CORA NOIRE 🎁

Somewhere between a glamorous showgirl and a scene kid, Cora Noire grew up feeling very at home on the stage doing musicals, dance competitions and music videos. Never quite finding exactly the right place in that world to be truly herself, Cora turned to more alternative performance styles eventually moving to Melbourne and tumbling into the world of burlesque. As a die-hard fan of pop-punk and metal, Cora has found a way to combine this with her high energy and at times camp burlesque performance style.

Cora has also been teaching dance for nearly 10 years, with over 20 years of dance training under her belt including a Cert 4 in Commercial Dance and Musical Theatre. As a teacher, Cora is really passionate about making every single person feel comfortable, seen, empowered and encouraged to be unapologetically themselves.

Maison Burlesque presents THE Burlesque Event of the year - featuring the creme de la creme of Melbourne Burlesque! The illustrious instructors of Maison Burlesque have been guiding the next generation of burlesque – and only come together for this star-studded lineup once a year. 💋
