Viviana allows this young audience to familiarise itself with the Eastern discipline in a fun atmosphere that is adapted to children, all the while emphasising body positions, balance, grounding, and the importance of listening to rhythm, being aware of oneself and of the space around you.
This class makes full use of accessories and props: headscarves, scarves, small sticks and so forth. This rounds out the basic programme with a view to developing the children’s coordination on the one hand, and encouraging spontaneous and creative movements on the other.
Viviana is trained in many styles of dance and is of Italian-Swiss origin. Having always been passionate about Eastern dance and melodies, she began training in 1985 with renowned artists, principally of Egyptian and Moroccan origin, before developing her own style.

VIVIAN' ADAYA
Viviana sees Oriental dance as a unifying force in its traditional form, because it touches upon one’s deepest being. The dance remains both sacred and feminine for her. She recognises the therapeutic powers of dance and it is with this in mind that she transmits her knowledge.
