Beginner's Juggling Class with Stephanie Monseu
at New York Circus Arts Academy

Juggling is a dynamic Circus tradition that combines all the excitement and physical prowess of a sport with the creativity and passion of the arts. A truly ambidextrous skill, juggling actively engages both sides of your brain and encourages eye–hand coordination and balanced thought. As a practical, technical skill, juggling and prop manipulation can round out your resume as a performer and enhance the disciplines you already practice. A classic ground act, jugglers can work almost anywhere!

7 week course starting April 23, 2007

90 minute classes begin with 20 minutes of warm-up and conditioning excercises followed by 70 minutes of skill-building techniques.

Regardless of how old (or young) you are, you'll be amazed by the sword swallowing, tickled by the monologues in between set changes, and intrigued by the forgotten history of vaudeville.
