Soma’s Hands

PERLE NOIRE

International burlesque sensation. A paragon of glitz and glamour. Josephine Baker aficionado. Those are the phrases most people think about when they discover Perle Noire. Perle, or Mama Perle as she is known to the burlesque community, has a unique gift. The gift of healing an audience in a theater or in a classroom.

In 2003, Perle started her burlesque career starring in the burlesque musical, Backstage At Da Fonky B. In 2008, she burst onto the mainstream burlesque scene, winning the Best Debut category during the annual Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend in Las Vegas. Perle has been named one of the world’s top two burlesque performers by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine three years in a row. After spending several years as a cast member in Dita Von Teese’s popular “Strip, Strip Hooray,” Perle went on to complete a stint in Velvet – a musical starring Australian disco diva and superstar Marcia Hines at The Sydney Opera House. 

Perle has performed her signature blend of sultry, athletic, and captivating dance in numerous venues throughout the world, including the Crowne Casino in Melbourne, The Waltz in Tokyo, Teatro Circo in Madrid, and the Koko in London. She has also graced stages in the Bahamas, Milan, Helsinki, Auckland, Sydney, New York, and Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from the great Josephine Baker, Perle is also a multi-talented businesswoman. She continually challenges herself with new ventures, including upcoming transformative workshops and a series of performances with her award-winning dance company, The House of Noire.
