ABOUT THE PROGRAM: In this workshop, participants will get a chance to make their own juggling balls to take home with them and learn how to juggle 2-3 balls individually and with a partner. Juggling is a lifelong discipline in which we can always find ways to make it easier or harder, and doing it with friends and family makes it even more exciting. Bring your kids, parents, friends, and rivals, and learn together with joy.
Please register in advance, space is limited to 50 kids: https://bit.ly/4gOY74g
