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.
