Sheila Starr Siani

This sultry, sassy super nova's burned up the stage in 2013 at the inaugural Hollywood Burlesque Festival, taking the title as the first Miss Hollywood Burlesque.

Her love affair with dance began as a child with the usual ballet, tap and jazz. She spent years as a competitive Tahitian and hula dancer. Her love for the fertility dances and interest in the seductive arts led her onto the stage in the likes of exotic dancing and that is where her journey to burlesque began- when her mom brought her Grammy, a former Vegas showgirl, to see her perform. From there, her grandmother taught her to blend the slow burn of striptease with the elegance of her dance training.
