Christine Peace

I was born and raised in Southern California. I was born June 30th, 1983. I started swimming at the age of 3 and began swimming competitively at the age of 12 until the age of 17. I also ran cross country my freshman year of high school at West Torrance High. My first year of college at El Camino Community College, I took a dance class and completely fell in love. I stayed at El Camino College for four years training in dance and pilates. It wasn't until I took pilates at the age of 19 that I became stronger and more flexible. Pilates helped me improve my dance technique and I realized that I could continue dancing professionally. I decided to switch my major from Sociology to Dance. I then auditioned for the dance program at California State University Long Beach and was accepted. I continued my dance and pilates training in Long Beach for 4 more years. I graduated in June of 2009 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Dance. In the summer of 2009, I started training to become a pilates instructor with a specialization in dance. I recently completed all of my required hours but have been teaching for over 2 years. I am still living in Southern California in redondo beach. I currently have 3 jobs, all of which are less than 15 minutes from where I live. I teach pilates as a form of physical therapy and as a form of fitness. I have been teaching dance since the age of 19 and will continue. I still manage to have time to take ballet classes and do what I love. I recently discovered a love for aerial and intend on becoming serious about it. I would like to continue living a healthy life style, help others, and travel more!
