I learned to juggle three balls many years ago in college and I sometimes thought about clubs. I got as far as buying some clubs in the late 90’s, but I got frustrated and set them aside. Then last July, I contacted someone in this area (Washington DC) who was a professional circus performer and teaches circus arts locally. I practiced for about a half-hour every day for four months and would talk to Greg every few weeks or so and he would tell me what I was doing wrong. I set as my goal to be able to juggle for one minute without dropping and I also promised myself I would make and post a video, which is
