Today I went to an interview. I usually rely on my brains, completely on my brains, in an interview. But in this case, I had to rely on my brains and my body. It definitely makes me reflect on how I see myself and how I try to portray myself to others. I’ve decided that in social situations, I try to be the smart girl, not the pretty girl. So this exercise in integrating both of my selves was more challenging than I expected.
I interviewed for an instructor position with the co-owners of the new Pure Barre studio that is opening in Greensboro this fall. I’ve been doing Pure Barre for a little over two years now and I love it just as much now as I did when I first started! It’s changed so many things in my life. Besides being in better shape overall, I drink more water, pay more attention to what I eat, sleep better, and have the self-confidence I had at 20 about my body. It’s truly been one of the most life changing things I’ve done.
So when Christina (one of my instructors in the Chapel Hill studio) said she was starting a location in Greensboro, I was SO excited that I would no longer have to drive 45 minutes to Chapel Hill! Then she emailed and asked if I would be interested in teaching. I must admit, at 34 years old, I was flattered!
I can’t help but think how awesome my 10 year old self would think this is! She’d be all about me teaching something dance related like this. At one time, this was my passion. I lived for ballet classes! I hope that this new venture might give me the balance I’ve been looking for…a true mind-body balance!
I go to training July 10-14th in Denver. I’m excited and intimidated, but love that it’s something completely different! I can’t wait!!
