Diana Lefebvre is the visionary founder of Burlesquercise and a renowned performance coach with over 30 years in the dance world. A former professional Ballroom dancer, national judge, and studio owner, Diana created Burlesquercise as a bold fusion of Ballroom and Burlesque to help women reclaim their sensuality, confidence, and stage presence. What began as her personal journey evolved into a movement that has empowered thousands of women to step into their power both on and off the dance floor.

Today, she coaches dancers, gymnasts, actors, singers, and fitness athletes on performance presence, including consulting for Skate Canada, while taking her passion for mental health and healing to the next level. Her workshops, retreats, and online programs blend nervous system regulation, somatic practices, mental clarity, and radical self-love. Through this work, she leads a confidence revolution helping women ditch body shame, disordered eating, and outdated rules about who they’re supposed to be. 

Her work has always been about more than dance, it’s about transformation.
