Kristina Rihanoff

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all well. Thank you all again for your supportive messages which I have recevied through facebook, twittter e.t.c. After the Strictly Tour ended I went to the USA for some time out, and spent a few weeks in Seattle and LA. I spent some time with my mom which is always good as I do not get to see her much, ( Image above). Joe also came out with me. It was good to get some rest, and recharge my batteries for the coming months. Once again I am sorry If a show has been cancelled that you were due to see. I do not like letting anyone down, so please accept my apologies, It was just not possible for me to carry out all the shows, due to my Doctor's orders.

I am now back to dancing, and have performed a few times in the past week. I was at Bridlington Spa, Hopton on Sea and am currently in Ireland about to return to London for a short rest before performing in Gravesend, kent. It is great to be back dancing with Brian and we are enjoying performing for you. A few people have asked me recently what is different about dancing on TV to Theatre. The main difference is that on TV the audience is at 360 degrees but on stage the audience stays in one fixed postion! We therefore have to adjust out choreography to suit this. I do love Theatre though, as there is a more personal interaction with the audience. Our show includes a number of performances, many of which you will recognise, but I do not want to give too much away! This year are shows are hosted by the comedian Mike Newman Jr, who adds some good entertainment, so I really hope you are enjoying our shows so far. I have also been lucky enough to meet some of you which has been good as always. Thank you for posting some images on facebook! I do keep a number of them for my scrap book.

I must now sign off as I have a flight to catch back to London Heathrow! I will blog again next week with more news. Joe has his dinner for ' Help the heroes' next week so I look forward to telling you all the news on here.

Also, you may remember in my last blog I mentioned that I am thinking of new ideas for a future book. I would love you to email in some questions for me to include, which would be like a ' Question and anwer' section. The questions can vary from anything to do with dancing, make up e.t.c Please email my PA on kristinarihanoffpa@hotmail.com . I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you all!
