ATLANTA-BASED Traveling Burlesque performer

The starlet who would one day become the alluring Flame Cynders began her journey in performance at the age of four, studying classical ballet, tap, and jazz. Her lifelong love of dance, combined with years of vocal training, opened doors to perform across the globe—allowing her to develop a dynamic presence and a distinct style all her own.

Flame’s performances have graced stages in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berlin, Milan, Manchester, and London, and she has competed in renowned festivals worldwide, including the Montreal Burlesque Festival (2024), Miss Exotic World (2005), and the Burlesque Hall of Fame (2006). Her accolades include second runner-up in both the Battle Royal in Vancouver (2006) and Viva Las Vegas (2007), as well as appearances at Tease-O-Rama, the Toronto Burlesque Festival, and the Texas Burlesque Festival.

Beyond the stage, Flame has made her mark as a producer and educator. She partnered and served as the principal instructor of the Fishnet Follies School of Burlesque Los Angeles, later becoming Studio Director at the Atlanta School of Burlesque. Today, she continues to share her expertise as a guest instructor with the Raleigh School of Burlesque and as an international guest teacher, inspiring students around the world through her signature blend of glamour, technique, and storytelling.
