My Lesson with Pantera

lily started this discussion · 6/19/2009

Hey everyone! I had to tell ya'll about the private lesson I had with Pantera today - she's amazing, completely kicked my ass, I'm going to be soooo crazy sore tomorrow! I am still pretty new to pole dancing and I suck, but she tried to teach me a flag and some other things I can't even remember what she was calling them....it was like 😂 But she did help me a ton with my alignment on my scorpio and I learned a cool way to go from fan legs into a pole sit. She was so cool and professional, and did a really challenging butt-focused warm up, I was dyyyyying! She's doing a 'Pantera Rocks The USA' tour, doing workshops and performances all over - if anyones gets a chance to see her I say DO it! 👍 I'm so excited, the pole studio that's hosting her is doing a 'Pole Extravanganza' at a local club tomorrow night, with Pantera headlinging of course!! 🥂 I'm going with my best pole buddy girlfriend, cannot WAIT!!! Anyway, here is a pic from today and an autographed photo from her 🙂 http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r194/MissKatherineA/IMG_6458.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r194/MissKatherineA/IMG_6463.jpg Sorry these images are so big! 🙁 And I apologize for all the graphic nudity and animal violence in the background art 🙁

Roxy-Pink, I'm not sure - but I know she has alot of info on her website, and I think she's really open to studio invitations! I'm so jealous!!! You should post a vid and show us what she taught you! I wanna see what you learned! 🙂 I need to do a new video so badly, I will totally post one soon! 🙂

She was out in San Diego in March, and I did several classes with her. She is amazing, and a lot of fun to work with. If you missed her this time around, don't worry... she is planing on doing this tour again next year and adding more cities. I'm not sure which ones yet, but I can let you know if you would like.

That is so kick@ss!!! Lucky!!!!
Charley · 6/19/2009
You are sooo lucky!!!! COngrats! I love me some Pantera! I've heard nothing but great things about her I'd love to get a lesson myself. Is she open to cities to tour? I am afraid Detroit wouldn't offer her much =( I've already got Wendy booked I can't keep my students pay checks dry with workshops with these amazing dancers 😂 - who's ever going to pay for lessons???? 😂

Charley, If you can get her here- I'm in! Lily, didn't notice the background art until you mentioned it. Interesting!

Charley, I don't want to speak for her but she seems really open - I know the owner of the studio here just invited her. Austin is a cool city and all, but I felt bad that we didn't have a better turnout for her 🙁 She was supposed to teach a 'Pole Power' class yesterday but they couldn't even get 6 people (her minimum) to sign up! 🙁 People missed out BIG TIME! I'm so glad I got to do a one-on-one with her, but I was really looking forward to that class. I bet Detroit would get a better turnout, you should contact her! Untamedshrew.....well I'm glad you didn't notice the poor kitty getting killed 🙁 I was like 😲 😢 when I first saw that photo yesterday! Celesta Danger is the artist/photographer, she's amazing but definitely has a very edgy hardcore style, the studio is literally covered in her work.

I noticed the naked lady in the upper right corner right away, but that was because I hadn't scrolled down yet and just the tops of your heads were showing, 😂 That's awesome! I'd love a lesson with one of the pros... heck I'd love a lesson, period! There aren't even any studios out here to try to get to invite her to 😢 I guess I'll be a perpetual self-taught pole dancer

Sorry I'm behind on posts here.....but that was sooooo cool for you lily! I bet you had a blast. 🥂

Sorry I'm behind on posts here.....but that was sooooo cool for you lily! I bet you had a blast. 🥂 Thanks Veena! It was SO cool to meet her, and her performance the other night was off the hook!! 🫡 The studio that hosted her put on a 'Pole Extravaganza', the owner and her instructors put on an awesome show and then Pantera was so kick-ass, she came out wearing these insane horns on her head and danced to Danzig 😂 she kicked the ceiling so hard the mirrored tiles fell down! She was so crazy and fun, I'm such an obsessed fan now! The whole night was such a blast, so many dancers were pulling out pole tricks, by far the best pole dancing I've seen in Texas - I've lamented the fact that dancers seem to be doing less pole tricks in the clubs these days....well I am so glad to know poling is alive and well here in Austin at the Yellow Rose! I've had a lot of fun partying in strip clubs....but Friday night was by far the BEST time I've ever had. 🥂 ETA a pic of me & my friend partying with Pantera and the Brass Ovaries dancers http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs107.snc1/4790_1167554462735_1044120494_30491453_5304854_n.jpg

Darn! Pantera looks so strong! ...very sexy:-). I'd definitely have a lesson with her if she came to my neck of the woods.

She came here, but we missed her because she hurt her rotator cuff and couldn't teach. 😢

I just saw here at Ink n Iron in Long Beach she was great - rocked it!
