Maria Viola Paciotti

Viola is a professional dancer, vocationally trained in ballet, modern and tap dance in Italy. Viola moved to London in 2017 to follow her passion for the performing arts. Since then she has also completed her professional teaching qualifications with the ISTD (International Society of Teachers of Dancing).

Viola has experience working with different age-groups - from babies and pre-school age to 17 years old, thanks to different dance teaching and creative workshop positions across the city. 

Viola believes that the arts are vital in every child's upbringing and especially music and singing. She believes any kind of creative moment can help children to develop body confidence and awareness, become more open to others and the surrounding environment. In her sessions she loves exposing children of all ages to music and movement!

As a native Italian speaker, Viola can lead language immersion sessions in Italian as well. Viola has experience tutoring children of different ages and her favourite subjects are all the Humanities and Arts, making sure children have the opportunity to learn while having lots of fun!
