MEET THE INSTRUCTORs

KRYSTAL BELLOUMINI: I am your Cardio Hip Hop instructor! I have a passion for dance fitness that I’m SO excited to share with you all here at Santa Barbara Dance Arts. I have always led an active lifestyle as I have danced and practiced sports throughout my life. I studied dance in college and earned my BA in performing arts with a dance emphasis. I am also ACE and Zumba certified. I have been teaching cardio dance fitness classes over the last 7 years and I am absolutely thrilled and honored to start teaching Cardio Hip Hop here with you all. I love to make my classes feel more like a dance party than a workout because I truly believe that moving our bodies should bring happiness and joy! I strive to create a judgement free space where I can encourage others to achieve their fitness goals by building confidence, love, and appreciation for our bodies through cardio dance fitness.
