Kristine Petrucione owner /director I began as a professional dancer in L.
A. dancing in industrials, stage shows, and videos (Bjork, Fat Boy Slim). One day I was approached by my ballet teacher Adylia
Roman about taking private lessons. To my surprise, instead of ballet class, she threw me on the reformer and Voila! My life
was changed forever. I went on to apprentice with her for a year and continued my training working extensively with Rachelle
Carson (TV‘s Living With ED), Fran Lehan, (protégé of Carola Trier) and Barbara Hoon. My background is
traditional with an added eclectic mix of dance, Stott, Physical Mind, and other techniques. I specialize in all fitness levels
as well as pregnancy, and postpartum. As I expanded my fitness training I went on to work for Yolanda Bergman, former Jane
Fonda teacher and original creator of Cardio Barre. My newest training is in Cirque Fitness through
Cirque Du Soleil Master Ivo Gueorguiev. I have now been teaching for over 12 years in Los Angeles and New York, and feel so
honored to have learned from the best in the business.
