England, Wales, Ireland......and Scotland

Brian and I will be in England, Wales, and Ireland from June 12-28, 2009. We'll be starting out in Manchester and travelling all the way down to Guernsey. We'll be performing and teaching, so check back here, or at StrictlyDancer.com often to see if we are coming near you.

If you'd like to have us perform at your studio or event, or would like to book workshops or lessons (private or group), please email my agent, John Sachs. We teach all styles, all levels, and all age groups.

We are also planning on being in Scotland from 28th May to 1st June. I will be going to Glasgow soon on the tour and it's my first time there. Brian has never been to Scotland before and we are both looking forward to it.

We look forward to performing and teaching at a venue near you!

My Official Website

Hello everyone,

A little while ago I posted about some of the personal challenges I've been going through lately. As you know, stories about my private life have been sold to the press that are simply not true. This is very upsetting and hurtful.

Besides dealing with all of this, I've now been locked out of my website. I can't access it at all anymore. So, I've decided to move to a new official website: Official Kristina Rihanoff. It should be up and running soon.

This website is the only official one out there. Any others - besides those linked to here - are not mine, including the one I have been locked out of. Any information on any other site, besides my official one, are run without my approval, consent, or knowledge.

One again, I thank you all for your incredible support. It makes such a difference to me.

Buy My Dresses!

Hi everyone,

I am selling both my dresses and my practice wear. Any of the dresses you see on my website are for sale and are with me in London. My costumes have been worn at competitions, many taking place around the world!

Any of the dresses you saw me wearing during my training with my lovely partner, John Sergeant, are also for sale. I wore the dress pictured on the left for several of our training sessions. It's a 4-piece set: top, latin skirt, ballroom skirt, and underwear. It is ₤300.

Each dress comes with accessories and a personal note from me. I will ship worldwide.

For more details, please visit the Ballroom & Latin Dresses for Sale on Facebook, or email me or my manager.

Thank you!

PS: Stay tuned for a very exciting dress auction over the next few days! :)

My Little Black Dress....

I have to tell you all that I've been giggling a bit to myself since I saw this article in the Daily Mail. It's true I did wear the same gorgeous black dress that my friend Anne O'Dowd gave to me to 5 events, but 4 of those events were on the same day!

I love this dress. It makes me feel pretty to wear it and I love how classic and elegant it looks. I first wore it when Mark Foster invited me to the British Fashion Awards with him. What a great time we had there! It was so elegant!

This week, I wore it on Tuesday to the 'Yes Man' premiere that I was so kindly invited to, and then to Karen's studio opening, which was wonderful. I am so happy for Karen. She has worked so incredibly hard to make her dream come true!

On Wednesday, I was able to attend the Children of Courage Awards at Westminster Abbey. How amazing to be there and to be invited to be a part of that. Right afterwards, I went to Downing Street to the Every Disabled Child Matters Christmas Party. It was such a wonderful and amazing experience to be invited to spend time with all of those lovely children.

To be totally honest, I was so honored to be invited to all of these events, as well as the others I have attended, that I didn't think it mattered if I wore a dress that I had worn before. I thought the events and the people was more important than my clothes.

I want to thank everyone for their sweet and supportive comments on the forums and on the Daily Mail's website. They mean a great deal to me.

And, next time, I'll be sure to change in the car!

-Kristina
