Violet started ballet classes at the age of 3 and absolutely loved it from day one. She started tap and modern at the age of 11 at her local dance school and then, aged 14, went on to attend performing arts school, where she studied dance alongside her academic subjects. 

Following the completion of her studies, she knew her dancing journey was far from finished, and she channeled her passion into teaching. She is now undertaking teaching qualifications with the RAD and IDTA to further her knowledge. 

She aspires to inspire the next generation of dancers and is very excited to be part of the teaching team at Zest.
