Kristina Rihanoff, precisely 5ft 2 (157.5 cm) tall, is a petite professional ballroom dancer whose diminutive stature enhances her dynamic presence on the dancefloor.
Her small frame at 5ft 2 made for unforgettable partnerships on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008, notably with 6ft 4in Colin Salmon, creating dramatic height contrasts that captivated audiences. She often wears high heels to accentuate her height during performances while resting in trainers or Ugg boots off-duty.
A world finalist in ballroom dancing, she is also an instructor, choreographer, and author, leveraging her compact 157.5 cm build for agile, expressive routines.
