| About Wendy Traskos Wendy has been pole dancing for 16 years. Her style is marked by her extreme athleticism, sensuality and her passion for dance as a form of self expression. What drew her to pole dancing was her awe of pole dancer's artistic yet powerful presence. Completely self-taught, she was hooked at first spin; discovering it was a great form of expression in addition to being a great resistance training workout. Wendy believed that by combining her extensive background as a personal trainer, her years as a fitness and gymnastics competitor plus her years of pole dancing; that she could create an environment for other women to experience pole dancing as a workout and an art form. Since 2005 she has opened three locations of NY Pole Dancing where she created a systematic, progressive approach to teaching that reflects her understanding of the need to create a foundation of strength, technique, proper bio-mechanics and muscle memory before advancing to more complicated skills. Her success as a studio owner has created such a buzz in the industry that she was brought in as the pole dance expert for Germany's version of America's Next Top Model hosted by Heidi Klum. She was also recruited by Tony Award winning Jerry Mitchell as a pole dancing consultant for Peep Show, currently running in Las Vegas. And, she's been a guest on the Montell William's radio show as a pole dance expert. FITNESS EXPERT/TRAINER/COMPETITOR Wendy is an AFAA and IFPA certified personal trainer with 15 years of experience. She is a natural teacher and motivator for private clients around the NYC and celebrities such as Montell Williams, Mary J. Blige and Mya. She has won first and second place titles as a fitness competitor in the ESPN Fitness America Series, ESPN Nationals and the NPC Eastern Championship. Wendy has been a guest on the Montell William's radio show and quoted in Cosmopolitan Magazine as a fitness expert plus appeared in editorial spreads for the magazine. Additionally, she's been a fitness model for Gorilla Wear, Hot Skins and Everlast. |

| Pantera Blacksmith Master Pole Dancer |
| About Pantera I started pole dancing as an exotic dancer in 1999. Since day one I took to the pole like a monkey, figuring out what we now call “transitions” and “tricks” on my own. My very first year as a stripper, I went to the National P’Olympics competition and failed miserably. I did however get to meet and pole play with 30 of the best pole dancers in the country. It was the most amazing pole experience I have had in the last decade and I still look fondly on those women for their insight and contribution to making me who I am today. The following year I took 3rd and finally my third year I won the National Pole Antics competition in Las Vegas, NV. Continuing my dancing career I won titles across the country, performed feature acts while being a commercial diver and made the first advanced instructional pole dancing DVD, Pole Tricks 101. Most recently, I’ve become the first international performer and instructor visiting places such as England, Costa Rica, Japan, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, California, and Arizona and won the 1st ever Best Pole Tricks Award at the Miss Pole Dance World Sport and Fitness competition in Jamaica. |
