Meet Holly Dolly—an internationally published pinup model with a sparkle in her step and a love for all things burlesque! She first leapt onto the stage in 2015 with a contemporary dance troupe in the Tri-Cities, and by 2019, she was dazzling audiences as an independent burlesque artist. These days, you’ll find her lighting up stages and producing glittering shows all across the Northwest.
So, what is burlesque? Think comedy, think theater, think fabulous costumes and storytelling with a wink. Modern burlesque is less about striptease alone and more about empowerment, artistry, and celebrating self-expression in its boldest, most glitter-filled form.
Holly shares with us her journey from dancer to producer, how burlesque has become a powerful tool for female empowerment, the joy (and mischief!) of teaching others the art, and what’s next on her jam-packed performance calendar.
