Sakina Onishi
A presence that speaks through movement
We are proud to introduce Sakina Onishi, our NEW Sponsored Gold Dancer, to the Chrisanne Clover family — a dancer whose elegance, artistry, and quiet strength captivate both audience and floor.
Representing Japan in Professional Ballroom, Sakina partnered with Yuji Hiroshima in July 2025, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her competitive career. Together, they bring refinement, musicality, and precision to every performance.
From the practice studio to the world’s most prestigious competitions, Sakina can be seen wearing Chrisanne Clover couture and practicewear, meticulously designed and made in London by our expert team of dressmakers. Each couture gown is individually crafted to reflect Sakina’s personality — sculpted silhouettes, flowing lines, and intricate detailing finished with Swarovski® crystals, allowing her to radiate under the lights.
Dance has shaped Sakina’s world since childhood. She began dancing at just three years old, inspired by parents who were dancers themselves. Her mother later became a teacher at Sakina’s hometown dance school, where her love for movement, discipline, and expression was nurtured from an early age.
One of her most formative memories came at Junior Blackpool, where she first realised the depth of her passion for ballroom dancing. Today, The Blackpool Dance Festival remains her favourite competition — a stage rich in history, tradition, and artistic excellence.
When asked about colour, Sakina’s answer is instant: red ❤️. A symbol of passion, confidence, and presence — qualities she brings effortlessly to the floor.
Of all the dances, Waltz holds a particularly special place in her heart. It was the first dance she learned, the one she practiced most, and the foundation of her elegance and musicality. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire her with every performance.
For Sakina, a dress is never simply a costume.
The right dress becomes an extension of her movement — enhancing confidence, clarity, and expression. When a gown truly suits her, she feels free to communicate without words, allowing her dancing to speak directly to the audience.
Sakina also speaks with admiration for Eugene, whose performances resonate deeply with her. “I can truly feel how much he enjoys music and dancing,” she shares — a quality she strives to embody herself.
The competition floor is where Sakina feels most alive. Through movement alone, she hopes to touch people emotionally, telling stories that go beyond language. With dedication, refinement, and relentless hard work, she continues to pursue that goal every day.
Wearing Chrisanne Clover couture, Sakina is confident she can shine brighter than ever — evolving not only as a dancer, but as an artist. Together with her partner, she looks ahead with determination and ambition, working tirelessly toward the dream of becoming top dancers in the world.
This is only the beginning.
