Workshops

Balance Workshop with Zeej: Get ready to wobble, wiggle, and hopefully anti-climactically just keep balancing in this beginner friendly balance workshop. We’ll explore the intersection of balance and juggling, using your body as the foundation for creative expression as you test balance points from top to toe.

2 Club Shenanigans Workshop with Elan: Take a break from your normal juggling behavior and come mess around with two clubs. We'll play around with simple throws, body throws, balancing clubs, as well as two club trap play. No prerequisites needed.

Kino Prerequisites & Variations Workshop with Kai: Come explore and deep dive into Kinos, a staple in the “West Coast/Flow” juggling style. We’ll work through beginner centric drills, improvement techniques and variations for added flare.

Funky Numbers Passing Patterns with Isaac: Time to get funky and explore different club passing patterns.

Beginners Guide to Juggling with Mike: This beginner workshop will teach the foundations of ball juggling, focusing on techniques and drills to begin your juggle journey.
