Lisette Krol is the founder and owner of Tribe Fitness Dance Studio in Dublin, Ireland. Originally from Venezuela, Lisette has called Ireland home for over 22 years. Her journey into pole and aerial arts didn’t begin with dance or gymnastics—instead, she came from a background as a competitive swimmer and discovered Circus Arts through recreational theatre. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion and successful career.
Lisette studied Fitness and Marketing, and with over 15 years of teaching experience, she shares her deep knowledge of pole, aerial hoop, flexibility conditioning, strength training, and performance with students of all levels. Her teaching is rooted in dedication, discipline, and joy, and she is known for empowering students to grow with confidence.
A decorated athlete, Lisette is a three-time World Doubles Champion, an Ireland and UK Soloist Champion, and the 2021 winner of Virgin Media’s “The Big Deal.” She has competed and performed on stages worldwide, including Britain’s Got Talent, The Late Late Show, Pole dancing for Snoop Dog and events across Europe and beyond.
Lisette is also a featured cast member in “WAKE” by This Is Pop Baby, a groundbreaking contemporary circus-theatre show touring internationally, with performances in Dublin (National Stadium), London (West End), and Manchester (Factory International).
Despite her global recognition, Lisette remains an active and passionate part of the international pole and aerial community—performing, teaching, judging, and inspiring wherever she goes.
How Lisette feels about Tribe:
“As a studio owner, there is something really special about Tribe. I wanted to build a place that you can call your second home, a place where you feel welcome, happy and totally addicted to the beauty and art of all things aerial. Tribe is all about that vision.”
“As an artist, Tribe is a paradise. A place where I can create, dance, fly, and let go…”
“As an instructor, there are so many special moments we get to witness every day in our studio, in our community. There is magic in the moment when a student realises their body can create amazing tricks, and a beauty in the cheering and support of fellow members and instructors for each other as they train. I am thankful that my students have a space where they can feel safe to try something new, to be brave. These are just a few of the special things about Tribe. It’s a space where people come alive and really express themselves. It is a privilege to get to be a part of their journey to empowerment and to feeling truly confident in themselves.”
