These sessions provide a comfortable environment for beginning jugglers, those who are just curious, as well as more advanced jugglers. Participants will practice at their own level with the teacher on hand to offer instruction in developing new skills and proper techniques. If you learned when you were a kid but got stuck at a certain stage, if you are a complete beginner who would like to challenge yourself with something new, or if you are an experienced juggler looking to practice in a supportive environment, come juggle with us! Enrollment limited to 12.
