Teaching juggling and circus skills to children and adults of all ages

Juggling & circus skills for all

  • Classes

    Brendan teaches classes in a variety of juggling and circus props to children and adults (ages 5 and up), perfect for:

    • primary schools

    • secondary schools

    • youth clubs

    • sports groups

    • team-building exercises

    Each class uses multiple different props to develop skills of balance, throwing/catching, and object manipulation.

    • peacock feathers

    • juggling balls

    • spinning plates

    • juggling silks

    • flower sticks

  • Inclusive

    No previous hand-eye coordination needed!

    The workshops focus on fun, achievable tricks with a variety of different props, to make sure that every student leaves with a feeling of accomplishment and pride. Juggling is non-competitive and the skills taught are easily accessible for all. Since every group is different, Brendan adapts each workshop to match the age, skill level, and skill spread of the class.

    Each workshop also includes a short performance by Brendan, guaranteed to impress and amuse.

  • Mind & body

    Learning to juggle improves:

    • hand-eye coordination

    • balance

    • bi-manual dexterity

    • reflexes

    • flexibility

    • concentration

    It's also a gentle form of exercise, can relieve stress, promote mindfulness, and has even been shown to increase the amount of grey matter in the brain!

Options to suit you

30-45 minute classes

For schools and other big crowd scenarios, choose a series of 30-45 minute taster workshops. Each student gets to try out several different props for a broad introduction to juggling and circus skills.

1-2 hour workshops

For smaller groups with more time (youth groups, team-building exercises, etc), go for a longer session. This begins with the introductory taster workshop before covering 3-ball juggling and moving onto simple, fun, collaborative juggling patterns that involve multiple people at a time.

Multiple sessions

Book a number of sessions over several weeks for a chance to dive deep into a number of varied props and techniques. Each week presents a different activity, recaps the previous lessons, and allows for free-play time as well.

  • “The kids were very engaged in the variety of different skills Brendan taught and he really brought the space to life. His ability to work with and adapt to the different ages, including encouraging parents and guardians was really impressive and it made the event a really positive experience.”
