African Violets and Gesneriads: Suffering Violet, 1 by danak

I've had this violet for several months now, and it was so beautiful when I got it. It's a Rob's Boogie Woogie, to give you an idea of what it should look like! Unfortunately I put it too close to the stove early on, but it's been with my other violets for a long time now and still looks like this. It does have quite a bit of a neck on it, but I didn't know if I should repot it while it's sickly. May that help it? And is it normal for Boogie Woogie to have light-colored leaves like that? The leaves also have very short stems, but I think the newer leaves are doing a bit better. Also, since the leaves are so crowded, doesn't that mean it needs less light? I moved it to a slightly "darker" area than my other violets. Any ideas?
