Yazmin Quintanilla

This week we visit Mexico.

I find it so humbling that ladies from near and far are willing to take the time to introduce themselves.

At a studio called Lili Salas Pole Dance, in Monterrey, we get to meet Yazmin.

Yazmin is 31 years of age and has only been involved in pole for 6 months, she is a former jazz/ballet dancer giving her a good base for pole.

"I have been a Dancer since I can remember, mostly Ballet and Jazz, but also Hip-hop, Salsa, Belly dance, commercial jazz, etc."

Her pole instructor is an old friend from a Dance Team she use to train with. The invitation was extended over summer to give pole a try.

"I honestly fell in love with it."
"I like mostly power and strength moves, those that leave you with your mouth wide open LOL! I think my favorite right now, is the Iron X, the phoenix and the Oona Spin combo (which I am working on right now) and my goal move, the top of the top, the one that I hope one day I could do is Fonji."

Following the strength and power trend Yazmin's pole role model is Oona Kivëla. Anastasia Skukhtorova and Jenyne Butterfly provide the softer forms of inspiration when needed.

The move she enjoys to perform the most is the Handspring with its variations, by the end of 2014 she would like to perform the Phoenix effortlessly, this is going to take some hard training but she is up for the challenge.

About Yazmin:

I am a very intense person. I like to give my best in everything that I’m passionate about. I like reading, cooking, dancing, crafts and DIY stuff, photography among others.
