Episode38: Blazing trails and building bridges for dancers with nontraditional body types - a conversation with beloved performer and instructor, Panther
In this inspiring episode of Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, Zen sits down with Panther, a 55-year-old dynamic, passionate, and beloved pole dance instructor with over 15 years of experience. From her first class and competition, to teaching countless students of every size and shape how to move with confidence, Panther shares her wisdom about growth, community, and owning your lane—no matter your age, body type, or skill level.
Together, we dive into what it truly means to feel comfortable in your own skin, celebrate your strengths, and find joy in movement—without comparison or pressure. This conversation is full of laughter, heart, and lessons that every dancer (and woman!) can relate to.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What it means to show up and push through, even when you don’t see anyone else in the room who looks like you
The importance of staying true to your own journey and letting go of comparison
Why you’re never too old or out of shape to try something new, to start dancing, or to feel sexy
How to find your unique style and embrace what works for your body
The power of community, encouragement, and showing up authentically in class
You’ll walk away from this episode reminded that growth has no timeline, strength has no age, and your lane is exactly where your magic lives. Whether you’re stepping into the studio for the first time or rediscovering your fire, this episode will inspire you to move boldly, live fully, and dance like it’s your time—because it is.
