About This Activity
Thursday - Aug 27 | Sept 3, 10, 17, 24 | Oct 1, 8, 22 | Nov 5, 12 10 sessions x 60 minutes Turn your Thursday into the most exciting day of the week! Led by Ms. Jones-Heintz who is a member of the International Jugglers' Association (IJA), this program invites 3rd–5th graders into the spectacular world of circus! The class is a step-by-step journey with a major focus on juggling, where students build hand-eye coordination, focus, and confidence. Juggling is the perfect healthy challenge, requiring mathematical thinking, patience and perseverance. It’s also a lot of fun and never gets old. Students will start by juggling one ball, eventually move on to three, and learn a wide variety of juggling tricks and techniques and maybe even learn some partner juggling and tossing clubs. Also, students will earn special IJA Buttons to mark the achievement of new tricks. Taking all three trimesters of this class is recommended (but not mandatory), because circus skills progress best with consistent practice to build muscle memory. At the end of each trimester, students will take the stage in a special showcase of juggling, balance, movement and each child’s own unique talents. Join the crew this fall to start building an impressive skill set that you’ll show off for a lifetime! And did I mention we will make our own juggling balls for home practice?
