Ever wondered how jugglers keep all those balls in the air? In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of juggling — from simple two-ball patterns to three-ball cascades, and even some creative variations! We’ll explore different juggling styles, discuss how rhythm and timing make it all work, and if time allows, experiment with juggling clubs or even four-ball patterns. No experience needed — just a willingness to drop things (a lot) and have fun picking them back up.
