22 to 25 May 2026 — Pentecost weekend
See you there?
The Dutch Acrobatic Convention is a long Pentecost weekend full of acrobatics. Four days of training, learning, watching, eating, partying and camping with acrobats from the Netherlands and abroad. From acrobats, by acrobats, for acrobats — whether you have trained for years or are just starting out.
Workshops
The convention has grown into one of the largest international acrobatics festivals, with top teachers. There are 10 workshop rounds with about 20 workshops per round. A workshop lasts 1.5 hours. Besides partner acrobatics, there are also workshops that have a link with acrobatics.
No levels, but prerequisites
We do not label acrobats by level. Every workshop lists two required skills; if you master them, you are ready for the workshop.
Teach a workshop
Everyone who wants to share their knowledge is welcome to teach, also in other disciplines. Teachers receive a fee and it counts as your convention task.

Food & drinks
A caterer provides three freshly prepared meals a day, including coffee, tea and lemonade. You let us know about allergies and dietary requirements when registering.
Camping
You camp for free on the field next to the gym. Bring your own camping gear. There is a separate area for campervans. Between 23:00 and 08:00 we keep it quiet.
Children
There is a children's programme for ages 6 to 11, with their own performance, and daycare for the little ones (0–5) during the workshop rounds. So parents can take part too.
Prices
Ticket prices for 2027 will be announced soon.
Are you joining?
