Costa Rica is a rich tourist destination that is located on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean between to Nicaragua and Panama. It is famous for an exotic lifestyle that is a solid mix of traditional country life with a modern Latino vibe. Many tourists marvel at instances of performing arts that can be found on Costa Rican beaches and in cities. Poi is one of these arts. It originated from New Zealand and over the years, has been modified to a more advanced form of fire dancing. Poi involves spinning at least two flaming balls attached to cords or chains.

Watching from a tourist stand, poi looks like magic but in Costa Rica, you can encounter trainers of the poi art at La Escuela Del Sol. This school teaches poi in Costa Rica up to a professional level. Once you have joined the school, your transformation begins. Slowly but surely you are taught lessons on basic motion while you are manipulating the poi and with time, you improve on your speed and start juggling the poi with fire. Learning poi in Costa Rica is like a dream come true for many tourists. 

Over the years, hundreds have enrolled at La Escuela Del Sol and by the time they leave Costa Rica, have become so attached to the art of fire dancing (poi) that they feel like changing careers and joining a circus to continue exercising their expertise in performing arts. Learning poi in Costa Rica has enabled people who thought they did not have talent to realize their potential in fire dancing. Such people are very grateful for learning poi as well as those learning Spanish, Surfing, Yoga and Scuba diving.

The best thing about learning poi in Costa Rica is that you get to understand the art behind the circus fire dancers and you can even become better than many professional performers over the span of 4 weeks. La Escuela Del Sol has been in practice for a while producing professionals and impassioned souls of poi in Costa Rica.  Their work has spread the art to other parts of the world when those impassioned souls return home.
