Since the day she was born, Evana De Lune was destined for the stage.
Performance is in her DNA, having been dancing since a very young age, but a chance trip to a burlesque class, opened her eyes to a whole new world of performance.
She was so hooked by what she saw, she has been performing as a burlesque dancer ever since.
The entertainment industry was shattered when the pandemic set in, but where there's will, there's a way, and Evana took to online in an attempt to salvage her career, and to keep doing what she loves the most.
The plan worked, and her social media profile exploded, giving her both platforms to continue performing, but also a fan base who were eager for her live performances once lockdowns finally ended.
Evana is one of Australia's most sought after burlesque performers, regularly flying interstate to perform, and also to teach the art form to others.
What she discovered when she started teaching though, is our favourite part.
The people attending the classes often have a story to tell, themselves.
They come to find (or re-find) their sensuality and sexuality after often, very traumatic experiences, like long abusive relationships.
The dance students give themselves permission to move their bodies in new ways and be free of their past, which results in huge improvement in personal worth and self love.
Evana has taught people as old as 75, proving that sexuality, confidence, and self worth are not limited by age.
The podcast explores the history of burleque, and how it has evolved over the years, and how it's dazzling displays of provocative dance, is still as relevant today as it was all those years ago.
We also talk about how important self love is, follow your dreams, and to never give up.
Enjoy!
