BenedettaDi Filippo

Beth is the founder of the school and its head instructor. Sport, and dance in particular, has been her thing since she was small. In 2015 she discovered pole dance and began training seriously at a local school, while also travelling to camps and workshops across Italy. She realised early that the sport had become a central part of her life and that she wanted to teach it — so much so that in the final months of her last year of secondary school she took two instructor courses: Pole Dance Level 1 at Vertical Dolls in Rome, and Pole & Silk with Erika Ferrari. She then enrolled in a Sport and Exercise Science degree to build a thorough, complete grounding.

Through her undergraduate years she kept training with dedication under internationally known pole dancers, above all Alessio Bucci and Bianca Breschi.

In 2020 she founded Cloud Nine asd, though pandemic restrictions meant the shutters did not go up until May 2021. What began there is an adventure of gruelling conditioning, boats of every kind, endless sighing whenever a combo contains a superman, and a wide grin for every goal reached.

Beth has made her way as a teacher while continuing to train and to compete, nationally and internationally. She also works on athletic preparation, guided by Andrea Magni.

In 2022 she began taking lessons from Marco Bassi, UltraPole world champion and a specialist in static pole.

Between training, teaching, competitions and events she also completed her Master's degree in Preventive and Adapted Physical Activity Sciences and Techniques (LM-67) in 2023, graduating 110 cum laude. She keeps her practice current as both athlete and teacher, attending workshops, camps and training courses led by world-renowned athletes and instructors.
