"Viola Verve was sensually slower in a sultry performance that had the audience drooling, even over her ability to simply remove her gloves. She has definitely mastered the art of tease, especially when cavorting with her feather boa. Her rhythmic sensuality was enhanced by her choice of music." - GLAM ADELAIDE
Viola is a resident performer at Adelaide's top burlesque bar 'Nineteen Ten Adelaide - Jazz & Burlesque rooftop bar', and teaches for a range of dance companies in Adelaide, South Australia.
Viola will mesmerise you as she ignites the stage with her smouldering intensity & sultry moves. This is one alluring bombshell you won’t soon forget!
