Stromboli, which is part of Sicily, can be reached by a ferry ride of about 2 hours. There are no cars on the island; we arrived at our accommodation by tuk-tuk. The island is home to around 400 people and has an active volcano called Stromboli.
It’s a magical place where every moment captivates you. The people are incredibly kind, and the atmosphere is truly unique.
In the photo, you can see the entrance where I held my training sessions:
The island is also very safe. During our entire stay, we never locked our room or the whole apartment—anyone could have entered. One day, I left my tablet in the pole room, and when I returned hours later, it was still there. The pole room was located right by the sea, so we could enjoy a breathtaking view during every single class.
On Saturday evening, we held a joint Gala show in which the organizers presented the Odyssey, and we, as guest instructors, represented the unleashed winds. With minimal joint practice, we were in complete harmony with each other. That evening, not only the camp participants attended, but also tourists on the island were able to watch the performance.
The entire organization was very creative and unique.
Here you can see a group photo after one of my classes. Each class lasted 90 minutes, and participants could usually choose from six hours of activities per day to decide what they wanted to learn:
About 70 people participated in the camp, forming a very large and diverse community coming from different countries. It was wonderful to experience this diversity and see how sport brings us together.
The aerial arts base was a truly special location:
During the event, I held pole classes where I shared my favorite combinations, acrobatic elements, and spinning pole exercises with the participants. It was a true joy to see the team try them out and to pass on what I love the most.
Instructor team:
I am infinitely grateful to be a member of this pole community and to have such special opportunities through it.
During the event, my branded clothing from the webshop was also available for purchase, and it was a great joy for me to see that people happily bought them as souvenirs.
