Midnite is internationally renowned for her innovative work that combines the art of striptease with aerial dance. Heating up stages across the globe with her signature aerial burlesque and unique floor routines. Midnite is known in the community as a trailblazer in innovation. She invented the “Midnite Finger Fans“ design and performance. Midnite appears in the books Burlesque: The True Art of Seduction by Michel Grondin and Scarlett James and the upcoming release Burlesque by Christopher Logan, as well as being featured in Japanese Pao Network’s documentary Burlesque, NPR’s Colorado Art Round Up, and the Denver Post.

Midnite started her love for performance when she was a figure skater at age 10. Growing up she performed in community theatre, dance and musical theatre. She went to college to study musical theatre and dance, but fell victim to the pressures of the “perfect” body and developed binging and purging and body dysmorphia. After a year she transferred schools, studied psychology and found aerial and burlesque. Aerial and burlesque were such welcoming communities that celebrated different bodies and backgrounds, Midnite felt home and discovered a place where she could grow and thrive. Midnite has never shied away from her past struggles and is happy to use her position in the community now to talk openly about body image, eating disorders awareness, and the empowerment of burlesque that helped her build a healthier and more loving relationship with herself. As Queen of Burlesque Miss Exotic World 2014, Midnite is determined to spread the good word of the Burlesque around the world, as well as help bring awareness to the Burlesque Hall of Fame and all the amazing Burlesque Legends who came before us, and continue the important conversations about Body Image, Self Love, and Performers of Color.

Currently she producers her weekly Midnite Martini's Sexy Sideshow, performs and produces at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret in Denver and tours across the great globe as the “Mile High Flying Tease.” This martini consists of one part innovator, two parts instigator, all shaken with sass and sensuality sure to satisfy!
