It’s finally July, which means High Priestess is getting ready for our first ever Summer Showcase. This showcase (happening on July 30th, tell your friends!) is the first opportunity for many of our students to show off what they’ve been learning and practicing since we’ve opened our doors.

You might have even felt that it’s inappropriate to be sexy in front of others.
I’ve been thinking about confidence a lot lately. I kinda have to now; one of my jobs as an instructor is to empower my students to feel comfortable in their bodies, especially when confronting the uncomfortable. Sometimes “the uncomfortable” is a challenging move, sometimes it’s just joining a class.
