Christina has performed and taught kizomba classes at festivals and events around the UK. Her performances are known for their sass and sensuality.

Christina’s modelling background has enabled her to perfect walking in heels and she is excited to combine heels and Kizomba and share her technique with you all in Kizomba’N’ Heels.

Kittie began her dance journey when she joined Warwick Salsa at her university. She fell in love with salsa: the music, the steps, the people! She immersed in all that salsa offered; learning on1 and on2 crossbody styles, as well as Cuban. But after the lockdown, she discovered her new found passion for bachata! She currently enjoys attending festivals all over Europe dancing and learning from the best artists. She started spreading her love for bachata by teaching in the midlands. She is excited for the bachata scene to grow in the midlands and to meet you all!
