A Life in Movement

From the ballet stages of Armenia to Corona Del Mar.

Arpine is a graduate of Armenia's prestigious School of Choreography, where she trained classically before joining the Alexander Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet National Theater. Over a 20-year professional career, she performed leading and featured roles in Giselle, Don Quixote, and The Nutcracker.

After relocating to the United States, she began teaching ballet in 1993 — working with children and adults of every skill level, and later choreographing for schools and studios across the region.

The Turning Point

An injury that led to a calling.

A dance injury sent Arpi searching for a way to train smarter, not just harder. When she first felt the results of the Gyrotonic® Method, she was astonished — the sensation and outcome from a single session repaired her body "to the point it was at before my injuries."

That experience inspired her to become a certified Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® instructor, so she could offer the same relief and transformation to others. Her approach blends personal experience with technical precision: she knows what it takes to train at an elite level, what it takes to remain there, and what it takes to heal.
