Video: Strength in Dance

Johanna 'Xenobia' Krynytzky is looking to change the outlook that women have on themselves through the power of dance.

Krynytzky own Hip Expressions in St. Petersburg and teaches women to be proud of their bodies and to express themselves though movement.

Johanna and Hip Expressions work across Pinellas and do exhibition galas weekly on St. Pete Beach at.

More than empowerment, Krynytzky has taught many about community. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer 2007, the national belly dancing community rallied to help her through the treatment. Together, they raised $20,000 to help get her back on her feet and dancing.

Four years later, Krynytzky is still dancing and still teaching. She lives by the goal of "Changing the world. One woman at a time."
