Kristina Cañizares |
 Descended from a long line of Cuban drummers, Kristina has rhythm in her blood. Kristina has studied and performed samba, Latin cabaret, salsa, rumba, modern, jazz, capoeira, and belly dance, including research in Cuba and Brazil. She was co-director of Ultra Gypsy Dance Company from 2001-2003, and has been a principal dancer for Ginga Brasil, Hot Pink Feathers, and Latin Cabaret Productions. In 2005 she was awarded the Ultimate Soloist title at the Hips of Fury Belly Dance Competition, and from 2004-2008 she has been a performer and collaborating choreographer for The Crucible’s celebrated Fire Operas and Fire Ballets, where she also teaches fire eating. Kristina is currently training in Mongolian contortion at the San Francisco Circus Center and she performs a belly dance-contortion fusion duet with world-famous contortionist Serchmaa Byamba.
