Learn more about Kyra Clouds

Kyra's love for dance began at a young age, but her burlesque journey started at the Amsterdam School of Burlesque. There, she not only discovered a new art form, but also a passion for sharing it with others.

In 2019, she made her stage debut, then under the stage name Fae Fortune. Her involvement in the burlesque world quickly grew, and in 2021, Kyra joined the teaching team at the Amsterdam School of Burlesque, where she passes on her knowledge and enthusiasm to new performers.

After the lockdowns in 2022, her number of performances increased rapidly, and the stage became more and more her natural habitat. In 2024, she chose a new stage name: Kyra Clouds — a name that better reflects her style and artistic identity.
