Allie Dente

Ensemble

(she / her / hers)

"She's the Queen of Rock and Ravioli & she's never overdone."


Allie Dente is new to the burlesque scene, having made her debut with Crescent Moon Nerdlesque in April of 2019. She feels like she's found her artistic home, and couldn't be prouder to be a part of this big sexy, nerdy coven. Allie is also a classically trained actor, and freelance costume designer and dialect coach! 

When not listening to music and coming up with ideas for new acts, Allie can be found baking, costuming, reading foolishly large books and neck deep in arts & crafts. She's a proud Gryffindor and loves nothing more than getting a little fusilli and gnocchi-ing your socks off with her fellow Crescent Moonies!
