About Isadora

About Isadora

French burlesque artist Isadora Mabille is a modern muse who delicately reinvents the timeless Parisian elegance of the Années Folles.

On stage, she embodies the perfect balance between refinement and boldness, with a touch of mischief and that unmistakable je ne sais quoi so quintessentially French.

Drawing on her French heritage, Flamenco background and years of experience in burlesque, Isadora brings a distinctive vision to the stage: a contemporary interpretation of the glamour, sensuality and audacity of the Années Folles, elegant, theatrical, playful and unmistakably French.

Her story 

Fascinated by dance from an early age, Isadora first found her artistic voice through Flamenco. Mentored by Carmen Rubio, she later travelled to Madrid to train at the Arabesquees and Amor de Dios academies. She went on to become a Flamenco dancer and teacher, developing a strong foundation in movement, musicality and stage presence.

When an ankle injury brought her Flamenco journey to an unexpected end, Isadora discovered burlesque in Paris in 2013. What began as a new artistic path would soon become a defining part of her identity.

She trained notably with Mlle Loison and quickly began teaching and performing with the Olala Party school, leading classes, private events and bachelorette parties.

It was in New Caledonia, however, that she truly developed her own artistic identity, initially performing under the stage name Mademoiselle B. From 2014 to 2018, she taught effeuillage burlesque at Burlesque Nouméa, a branch of the Art & Movements school, while performing regularly on the local scene. From 2016 to 2018, she was also invited to perform as a guest at the Nouméa Burlesque Festival.

From 2020 to 2024, Isadora created and ran her own school, Le Boudoir de ces Dames, where she accompanied women in developing confidence, self-esteem and self-expression through burlesque.

For Isadora, burlesque has always been about far more than performance. It is a space to reclaim the body, embrace who we truly are, and celebrate the freedom to be seen on our own terms.

In 2022, she joined forces with actress and swing teacher Delphine Mahieu to create Le Beetle Moon, a unique cabaret revue blending swing and burlesque. Created from scratch, the cabaret quickly became a regular feature of the local scene.

International Career

Over the years, Isadora's career has taken her to stages and festivals across Europe, Australia, Oceania and Japan.

Her international appearances include:

Australian Burlesque Festival · Bisous Français, Paris · London Burlesque Festival · Croatian Burlesque Festival · Bavarian Burlesque Festival · Lyon Burlesque Festival · Japan International Burlesque Festival

Her competitive achievements include a Silver Medal at Burlypicks Solid Gold Croatia in 2020 and the Master of Amazement Award at the first Burlypicks France final, also in 2020.

In 2025, she was selected to compete in the MX Burlesque Australia competition.

The Isadora World

Today, Isadora's artistic universe draws deeply from the spirit of the Années Folles, an era of artistic freedom, extravagant fashion and unforgettable characters.

Inspired by Parisian cabaret, vintage cinema, fashion and the great icons of the Jazz Age, she brings these influences into a contemporary burlesque language.

Her repertoire explores different facets of this world: the elegance of the Parisienne, the glamour of French cinema, the audacity of the modern woman, the seductive dandy and the playful spirit of burlesque.

Rather than simply recreating the past, Isadora reinvents its spirit for today's stage, creating performances that are elegant, sensual, theatrical and unmistakably French.

Today

Now based in Melbourne, Australia, Isadora continues to perform, teach and create internationally.

Her work brings together everything that has shaped her artistic journey: the discipline and musicality of Flamenco, the theatricality of burlesque, her French heritage and a deep love for the glamour and freedom of the Années Folles.

Elegant, sensual, playful and always a little unexpected, Isadora invites audiences to step into her world, where French glamour meets the art of burlesque.
