something like that. It’s so crazy to see how it transitions now. Things that are coming out now are
so “gymnasticky” and ballerina like, I have no interest in being a crazy contortionist. No interest
whatsoever in doing that. So some things I can still get into even though it doesn’t look pretty like all
the flexibility things but then all the power stuff I am pretty solid on. So if I don’t get it the first time I
get it the second. And the first time it’s like a warm up or a practice round. I am not gonna say, I will
never have a hard time. But I feel at this point I am still pretty able to do a lot.
Denisa: So one could say something you did not even learn, you invented them...
Pantera: Yeah. I am a... I am not a pioneer I am an originator. It’s my fault. You’re welcome.
Denisa: So what’s your most favorite pole move?
Pantera: I love exotic dancing. I love it. These classes, they are my favorite, absolutely favorite. Love
that class. I love it when I have the opportunity to share that class. I don’t feel like it’s lost. I think it’s
still very much a part of pole dancing. As long as the studios have the exotic class, the lap dance class
or they have bachelorette parties where they’ re having them do a lap dance for each other. We’ll still
be strippers. But I also really like moves when I can sit in. As far as acrobatics go - the moves when
I can just sit down and feel like I am getting a good stretch or a good push or a good pull or a good
pump.
Denisa: So have you won some championships, some awards?
Pantera: A long time ago, I don’t compete anymore.
