Cecilia Acquaroli - Owner & Pole instructor
Born into an Italian family full of talents in the performing arts; Cecilia grew up in a world full of music, dance and singing. A basic background in ballet and gymanstics, lead her to a greater interest in latin and hip-hop dancing. While she was able to participate in a few latin competitions as a child, (in which she won), having four children at a younger age, always held back from fulfilling her dreams.
In the meantime she became a qualified makeup artist and beauty therapist; eventually leading in the creation of her own natural product line. Amid this time of living in England, her discovery in 2009, changed her dream for life. Coming across Pole Dancing she was hooked at first try; giving her a genuine longing for it to become a larger part of her life.
At that time Cecilia had just qualified as a Zumba instructor and was teaching Zumba in various different gyms and dance studios. In the mean time training weekly as a Salsa dancer and co-teacher with Salsa8 Uk.
The new found passion of pole however became an obsession, a need, and something she deeply desired. Training to become an instructor for Beginners and Intermediates took place at Pole Fitness UK after 2 years of poleing, which later advanced to a more complete certification from Discoveries Dance USA. Cecilia began her own classes of Pole Pulse in England in 2013.
With all she could achieve in studying in England, she sought out a more exotic location.
Cecilia is now the founder of Pole Pulse in Costa Rica, in a studio at the beautiful beach town of Jaco. She takes a personal pride in teaching her students this amazing art; "seeing them succeed and continually improving and exceeding themselves overjoys me" . Every bit of effort is put into her studio and her classes to consistently challenge the students; giving them a chance to flourish and add they're own style to their movements.
