Summer had been fun after graduating from Julliard. Really anything was fun after Julliard. It wasn't that Anna hadn't learned anything or had any fun at all, but everyone there was so uptight and needed to learn how to relax and just have a good time. Anna had built up a decent amount of money working at the Pink Rose, and with that, she had left the States for Moscow. Everybody who was anybody seemed to levitate towards the city. Truth be told, it was now the center of the world.
Anna had found herself an apartment and mostly had gotten her life in order, but work was still something she needed. She could probably live for awhile off of her savings, but in order to live her best life, she would need a fresh influx of cash occasionally. So she began searching for jobs in the city. With a degree from Julliard as well as recommendation letters from professors, it was likely she would find something, however, a job posting caught her eye. Kallisti House of Burlesque was hiring dancers. Anna did her research and Kallisti appeared to be a pretty upscale place. It wasn't the Pink Rose for sure - burlesque dancing and stripping were two different things although they both intrigued the viewer with forbidden fruit.
Anna found herself smiling. It would likely be a fun job and a well paying one. Anna continued her deep dive on the establishment and there were rumors of the talent using some sort of power to enhance their show. Anna flinched a little at that. She was still scared of the power she held inside. If that was happening, she'd likely have to face it sometime.
Anna made a call to the Pink Rose, asking a request for a letter of recommendation from her former manager. She did include that in most of the more classical job applications. Most of them still frowned on exotic dancing, but she felt this would be a good addition to her resume at Kallisti.

She received a call a few days after applying and scheduled an interview. Anna spent that time practicing and putting together an outfit should they ask her to dance. It wouldn't be out of place to do so. Anna dressed professionally, putting on a white blouse and black skit and black tights. Anna finished a cup of coffee and grabbed a bottle of water to get on the bus to the club. ON the way there, she mentally prepared herself for the interview. Anna felt confident, but still the nerves of being judged always came. It was only natural. As her nerves rose, she could sense the power hiding - a glowing light that beckoned. Anna ignored it as much as possible.
She paid the driver and sighed in relief as she arrived at the club. It was during the day, so the club wasn't really running. The doors were opened, however. Staff would be prepping for the shift and the dancer's would be rehearsing. A woman approached her shortly after entering, a slight look of confusion on her face. Based on her physique, Anna would have guessed she was also a dancer, but she really didn't know.
"Hello, we're closed right now. We open in a few hours if you want to see a show,"
The woman was at least polite and offered a smile. This probably happened occasionally.
"Hi," Anna responded, offering her own smile. "Actually, I'm here because I have an interview with Carmen today."
The woman's eyes brightened in realization. "Ah! I see. Follow me!"
Anna nodded and the woman led her to a room with some chairs and a table. "Please take a seat. I'll let Carmen know you are here!"
Anna listened and thanked the woman. She set her bag with some costumes beside her chair and waited for Carmen to arrive.
