Second Hungarian Acrobatic Convention

The Second Hungarian Acrobatic Convention will be held from august 16th – august 23d 2018, for acrobats and acro yogis of all levels, beginner or (very) advanced. This includes:

• Workshops from renowned teachers : Noël and Wybren and Hugo
• Training outside, with and without longe
• a shade net above the playground
• Training inside in the community house if the weather is bad
• Beautiful camping place on the hill
• Freshly cooked vegetarian food (optionally vegan or carnivore)
• Wifi
• Free use of bicycles

Disciplines and techniques 
In the workshops we will address a variety of acrobatic disciplines and techniques including building and pitching, handstands, washing machines, flows and sequences, lifts and balances, Icarian and trio tricks.

Skill level
This training week is open for anyone. You will receive personal instruction to your skill level. If you like, you can attend with your dedicated training partner, but everybody will switch partners during the training, since this will give you a deeper understanding of acrobatics. Upon registration let me know if you’re preferred role is base or flyer (or both).

Program
Our convention will have (at least) 22 workshops and there is always a free training floor. There will be workshops every day, except for sunday. This day is for other kinds of leisure; a walk in the beautiful environment, a bicycle ride (there are bikes at the venue) up the Bükk mountains, or a visit to the famous Lippizaner horses in Silvasvárad. The ancient town of Eger is also nearby with its fortress and thermal bath.

Accommodation and food
Nestled in a shady cool tree forest, lies the campground. Please bring your own tent, mat and sleeping bag. Sanitary facilities are basic but sufficient (toilets and showers). There will be three vegetarian meals a day, freshly cooked for you. Our kitchenmaster can cook meat/fish or vegan food on request. You are expected to lend a hand in small tasks like cleaning the tables.
