Beautiful Unusual is in love with creative expression through the art of belly dance. We are fascinated with the history of this form, combining traditional technique with contemporary dance theory to develop unique, opulent performances. Based in Calgary, we welcome everyone to dance with us through classes and events. We believe that diversity is our strength, and unabashedly celebrate what is beautifully unusual in all of us.
Director Kristine Jennes has been belly dancing across Canada for over a decade. She has trained with a variety of instructors and currently studies most intensively with The Dark Side Studio in Toronto where she is actively perusing level 3 of their 4-stage technical program. Having settled in Calgary a few years ago she created the Beautiful Unusual performance group in 2017. Performers are a loose collective of dancers who train and perform with Kristine and with other local belly dance groups. Kristine also offers dance classes for all ages and produces belly dance-related events regularly.
