Hello, Bases & Flyers!
Quick little upgrade on our side, we just did a website revamp thanks to some very solid feedback from Da Nang’s unofficial leader René (appreciate you).
You can now access the full calendar + insider deals directly on the website using the password: acro123.
We’re also starting to partner more closely with people across the community to bring you useful discounts for events you’re already thinking about going to.
So it’s worth checking back in every once in a while… especially before you book anything. (Check our hot deals box below.)
This week, we’re back with the April Related Festivals, the side quests of the acro world: circus, flow arts, handstands, music gatherings, and everything adjacent that you somehow always end up liking.
So expect in today’s issue:
🗓️ All Events Coming Up Soon (April 21 – May 20)
✈️ Plan Ahead: Related Movement Festivals through June

🧳 My Favorite Travel Tools

🌐 Together with AcroGrip
For my friends with sweaty hands, you already know how big of a difference good grip makes.
Trusted by Cirque du Soleil and used in over 1 million+ performances, AcroGrip is liquid chalk built for acrobats by acrobats.
Expect a no-mess grip that lasts 45+ minutes, so you’re not constantly reapplying mid-session.
And, I got you. You can use my exclusive 10% discount (only shared with Acro Insiders) to try it out for yourself.
👉 Use code: ACROINSIDERS10
