Kristina Klio\u0161toraityt\u0117, better known in the dance world by her stage name \u201cFunkyKriss\u201d, is a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, active in the fields of street dance and performance. In 2025, she graduated from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre and received a bachelor’s degree. Kristina was born in Spain, where she spent her childhood until the age of 12. Her path to dance was inspired by her admiration for Michael Jackson \u2013 it was his performances and music videos that became the first impulse to express herself through movement. At the age of 13, Kristina moved to Lithuania, where she began to search for her place and found it in dance.<\/p>

In 2015, she became interested in the Popping dance style \u2013 she attended her first lessons with Max Stroff, later continued her popping training with Monika \u010cibiraite (Popping Kozo). Later, in 2017, she became acquainted with the Locking dance style, which particularly attracted her due to its distinct visual identity \u2013 classic trousers, suspenders, and hats. As she herself has said: \u201cI remember being interested in locking style because of the clothing \u2013 it immediately aroused curiosity. After trying it, I felt that this was what I was looking for.\u201d Kristina studied this dance style in Lithuania with Emilis Pilionis, Ugn\u0117 Nork\u016bnait\u0117, and Felix Aimable. Since then, Kristina has consistently developed her path as a dancer \u2013 actively attending dance classes, deepening her knowledge in workshops, becoming interested in various dance styles, and purposefully striving for professionalism.<\/p>
