When you think of powerful, fearless women changing the world through art, one name stands out: Violette Mezraany. Today, she is lighting up stages worldwide, but her story began far away from the spotlight in a lab coat.
At 18, Violette walked into her first professional dance rehearsal straight from her university classes in medical laboratory sciences. That moment changed everything. While most of her classmates were focused on exams and lab reports, she felt alive for the first time. She knew then that no stage would ever scare her and no spotlight would ever feel too bright.
Choosing Passion Over Fear
Though she studied to become a medical scientist, Violette’s heart had already chosen the stage. Even as a little girl, she would dance for her family, turning their living room into her own performance space. Dance was more than a hobby; it was a calling that kept pulling her back.
Years later, she made her boldest choice yet: leaving her master’s program in drug sciences in Paris to follow her true passion. Many called it reckless. People warned her about the risks of an unsafe career in art. But Violette chose passion over fear and that choice became her turning point.
Achieving the Impossible
Today, Violette isn’t just a dancer she is a global performer, teacher, and inspiration to many. Her greatest achievement is making a living from her art. “People told me I couldn’t do it because I didn’t follow the safe path,” she says. “They said art was too risky, but I chose passion and here I am.”
She started in local dance schools, performing in small shows while juggling tough university schedules. The turning point came thanks to Alexandre Chidiac, her dance teacher and now her best friend, who recognized her talent before anyone else. Alexandre introduced her to top choreographers, leading to her big break on Arabs Got Talent with renowned choreographer Hady Awada.
Family Support and Quiet Sacrifices
Those early days were far from glamorous. Violette remembers her father waiting for hours in the car just to drive her to rehearsals. In those long, quiet rides home, her dream took shape. She realized she wasn’t dancing for fun anymore she was building her future as an artist.
Now, she performs in international shows that once seemed like unreachable dreams. Every audience’s cheer reminds her of how far she has come. But even as her career soars, she remains deeply committed to her students. “You can be anything you want,” her father always said, a message she now shares with every dancer she teaches.
Fighting for Her Dream
One of Violette’s biggest lessons is that no one will fight for your dream the way you will. There were times she felt invisible and doubted if she was good enough. But she kept showing up, heart first. “Resilience isn’t always loud,” she says. “Sometimes it’s quietly walking into a room where you once felt like an outsider and owning your space like you were born for it.”
Today, this mindset shapes every part of her life from rehearsals to how she treats her team and her students. She no longer chases perfection; she chases purpose. Every bruise, every late-night practice session, and every “no” she received only pushed her further.
A Legacy of Strength and Inspiration
Violette wants to be remembered as the woman who danced through every closed door until it opened not just for herself but for those who will come after her. She traded her lab coat for bare feet, turning judgment into movement and doubt into rhythm.
She wants to show young girls that softness isn’t weakness and that their stories, scars, and passions belong everywhere. She doesn’t need to be the most famous dancer she wants someone to say, “Because she didn’t give up, I didn’t either.”
A Message to Her Younger Self
If Violette could speak to her younger self, she would say: “Keep going. You’ll doubt if your passion is enough. But one day, you’ll take your place, not because of luck but because you earned it through every bruise and every ‘no.’”
In her last arena show, she stood backstage, hands clasped with another artist, adrenaline rushing. It was another unforgettable performance that proved the journey was worth every sacrifice.
Continuing the Journey
Today, Violette continues to perform internationally, mentor young dancers, and inspire her audience through every move and every story she shares online. Her followers on Instagram and TikTok watch closely as she turns each stage into a new chapter of her dream.
Through every show and every message, Violette proves you don’t have to follow the safe path to succeed. You can choose yourself, follow your heart, and build the life you’ve always imagined inspiring countless others along the way.
