Julianna Crowder is a dreamer, teacher and community leader. Opening in 2001, she owned a successful dance studio in Leander TX which included an award winning Competitive Dance Company, Mother's Day Out and Afterschool program. She is proud that she was able to "help raise other people's children" and contribute to the enrichment of hundreds of families in the Cedar Park/Leander community for seven years.
2007 Julianna's path took a very interesting turn, leaving her dance studio behind and pursuing a career in personal empowerment and self defense education in the firearms industry. Becoming a certified firearms instructor, with over to 10,0000 students attending various programs she co-taught with her husband John in an 18 year career. During that time, in 2011 Julianna established a women's shooting club called A Girl and A Gun Women's Shooting League. AG & AG which started as one chapter in Texas is now a nationwide organization serving 275 ranges and nering 10,000 members plus thousands more women and girls that participate in local, regional and national events.
December 2018 she felt her dance roots calling her home and the need for her body to move in a functional and meaningful way as injuries were becoming a more common occurrence in everyday activities. Julianna joined Club Pilates to rebuild her body and it wasn't long before the educator inside of her was called and enrolled in instructor training July 2019, becoming fully certified in December 2021. Feeling completely fulfilled with her journey at A Girl and A Gun, Julianna retired in July 2022 to work full time as a Pilates Instructor, once again starting from the ground up building a new career and adventure in her life!
