This class will turn a non-juggler to a juggler. Jeff has taught over 1000 students how to juggle and has an 80% success rate. By the end of the class participants will have a basic understanding of juggling theory and will be able to juggle 3 balls. All ready know how to juggle? Come take the partner juggling class.

This class will be a chance to play with other jugglers and get some pointers while you do so. We will focus on passing patterns between 2 people, as well as some 3, 4 and 5 person systems as well. The focus will be on ball juggling, but feel free to bring other props as well.

This class will lay a groundwork for poi moves and theory. We will be using the codified terms and systems of club swinging and apply them to poi in order to create strong shapes and clear basics patterns. This class is for those still learning poi, as well as those wanting to get back to fundamentals.
