Hi Everyone,


Here is the video I mentioned in my last blog. It was taken a little while ago, in the dressing room when we started the tour. I have been trying to rotate the video which is why it has taken me a little while, but it has finally worked! I absolutely love Kelly's dog, soooooo cute. He is very naughty though, which you can see from this! ha .

The past few weeks have been a bit mad, with the tour coming to an end. I loved every minute of the tour, it was so much fun and I will miss it. It was a pleasure to partner Mark, he really is such a talented dancer. All the celebs were amazing, I think you can agree. I know I have thanked you all on my website, but I cannot say enough how grateful I am for your votes, and I was really pleased to meet some of you around the Country. Thank you for all your photos on facebook as well, I have taken some for my personal collection and memories.

As some of you know, I have had to withdraw from some shows due to some ongoing health problems. This also caused me to pull out of the odd show on tour in the last few weeks, but on my Doctor's orders I cannot carry out the schedule I intended to do. This is why the shows have been cut down, and I really cannot apologise enough for letting some of you down. I know I have kept very private but I wanted to keep my focus on the tour until it came to an end. I intend to be ready for the Pro Tour in April, so it would be good to see as many of you there as possible, I believe tickets are still on sale. I really do hate to let anyone down, but I hope you can understand. The schedule is still being finalised so my website event section will be updated as soon as possible.

I am writing this blog before boarding a plane. I am off to the US for some rest time and to see my family. I will update my blog whilst I am away with any news. In the mean time I am hoping you can help me with something. I am playing around with a few ideas for another book, and I would love to have a section dedicated to you, and to do this I would like you to send me in some questions which I can answer. The questions can be anything at all to do with my dancing life, Strictly, Fitness, make up, diet, behind the scenes of a dance show, dance routines, preparation, dance relationships i.e how it is common for dancers to grow close to their partners. Please do get in touch with anything. The best thing to do would be to email any questions to my PA on this address kristinarihanoffPA@hotmail.com. Feel free to ask her anything regarding this, I look forward to reading through some of your questions.

Once again thank you all so so much. I will be in touch soon.
