If you want to perform in our show next year, come to juggling club and show us what you’ve got! We welcome a variety of talents – juggling, dance, acrobatics, comedy, footbagging – it’s all good!

 

If you want to learn something cool to show off to your friends, on YouTube or to a live audience, just come to the club and we’ll teach you amazing feats. It takes a little practice and hard work, but it’s sooo much fun once you get it!

 

Three excellent YouTube videos filmed and edited by John Jones and Dave Critchfield (check out their bounce juggling Web site, http://www.bouncepage.com/):

Passersby and participants both inside and outside Ritchie witnessed a 10-person circle of jugglers catching and throwing flaming clubs, seven children all riding around on a one-person unicycle and others riding a six-person bicycle complete with a sun umbrella, among other feats of wonder.”

“The mathematical theory of juggling is referred to as siteswap, says Andrew Conway, a former board member of the International Jugglers Association…

In the late 1980s, jugglers Bruce Tiemann and Bengt Magnusson created a juggling notation based on the changing places of balls when juggling, he says.”
