Hey hey, you've done pretty well for yourself! Wind in your sails, cash in your pocket, and you can even juggle a three-ball cascade. What else could you ask for? And yet, something calls out to you. You don't know what it is, what siren's call whispers so from beyond the veil, but you know that, surely, surely there must be something more. Something deeper and wider and juggler-er than what your life has been up to this point. Well, our fair friends, this workshop is for you. Starting this March, you will step onto the path of not just being a human being who knows how to juggle, but a titan, a colossus of skills and pizazz, one who IS a juggler. Fulfillment and glory await you! Tricks will be introduced, discussions on learning 4 and 5 will be held, and assorted other manipulation props such as diablos, devil sticks, and spinning plates will be on hand for exploring and learning. Don't dally, make a move! The path of the juggler calls!
