Another fabulous teacher in the Muse Family, this time based Sydney’s North Shore, the delectable Holly Hornet! Holly comes to Muse with a rich background in burlesque and we are thrilled to offer burlesque classes in the Northern Sydney area.

Holly Hornet is a performer whose work serves as a vibrant bridge between the golden age of striptease and the contemporary stage. A finalist at Mx Burlesque NSW 2022 and 2nd Runner-Up at the Australian Burlesque Festival New Follies 2022, Holly has graced stages ranging from glittering launch parties to the Adelaide Fringe.

Her signature style is a captivating blend of classic, old-school striptease, technicolour personality, and a touch of Greek goddess glamour. Rooted in a deep respect for the history of the craft, Holly draws inspiration from vintage icons such as Blaze Starr, Tempest Storm, and Bettie Page. She honours their legacy through the art of the slow burn, focusing on elegance, musicality, and a mischievous, playful charm.

In the modern scene, she looks to the precision and artistry of performers like Bella de Jac, Frankie Fictitious, and Medianoche—artists who push the boundaries of what burlesque can be. Whether she is performing or mentoring students, Holly’s mission is to create a world where sensuality is joyful and confidence is contagious.

Her work is a love letter to the past, designed to empower audiences to step into their own power and celebrate their bodies, one tease at a time.
