Belly dance is for every body
Hi, I’m Chrystina – a belly dancer, teacher, and body-positive movement advocate based in Squamish, BC. I’ve been dancing since 2009, and for me, belly dance is more than just movement — it’s a way to tell stories, connect with others, and embrace self-expression.
As a plus-sized dancer, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space where everyone feels seen and celebrated. I believe every body is a dance body, and belly dance should be accessible to all, regardless of size or experience.
I love working with beginners and helping people discover the joy and empowerment that comes from dance. My goal is to encourage confidence, authenticity, and a deep connection to music and movement — no molds, no rules, just you.
A Journey of Dance, Self-Love, and Empowerment
My dance journey has taken me around the world — including Cairo in 2022 — and I’ve been lucky to learn from renowned artists like Rahel, Dina, Sahar Samara, Shahrzad, Mohamed Salah, and more. These experiences deepened my connection to the cultural roots of belly dance and strengthened my belief that this art form is for every body.
As a plus-sized dancer, I know what it feels like to not see yourself reflected in traditional dance spaces. That’s why I focus on helping students build confidence, connect with their bodies, and embrace movement on their own terms — no matter their size or shape.
Whether you're brand new to belly dance or looking to grow your practice, I’m here to offer a supportive, body-positive space where you can explore your unique movement and discover the strength, beauty, and joy that lives within you.
