Sparkling Diamonds A Moulin Rouge–Inspired Burlesque Workshop Brought to you by Muse School of Burlesque & Holly Hornet

Step into the red velvet world of Moulin Rouge and unleash your inner diamond in this one-off burlesque workshop inspired by the iconic film! Think glittering costumes, bold struts, cheeky shimmies, and just the right amount of dramatic tease.

Led by Holly Hornet and proudly presented by Muse School of Burlesque, this workshop is designed for all people, all bodies, and all identities.

Whether you’ve danced before or are brand new to burlesque, you’ll learn some of the classic building blocks of the tease—like strutting, bumping, grinding, and how to peel off a glove with flair. We’ll put it all together in a short, sassy routine set to a Moulin Rouge track you definitely know and love.

No fan work, no pressure—just fabulous fun and a chance to feel great in your body.

Want more sparkle? Workshop attendees will get exclusive early insight (and a cheeky discount) to our upcoming 4-week beginner burlesque bootcamp, where we’ll go deeper into the art of the tease, movement, and self-celebration.
