Many people who come to our classes get addicted to juggling if they weren't addicts already. 90 percent of our students buy props from the Dubé Juggling store. Dubé has an extensive website (www.dube.com) that sells nearly every type of prop you can think of, and they also have a retail store right in the SoHo section of Manhattan. If your needs are more specific, other alternatives are The Bag Lady, Renegade Juggling, and JugglingStore.com
Most first-time jugglers don't have equipment, so we try to make sure we have extra beanbags handy for them to use in class and that usually covers the first-timers. Unfortunately, it's at a first come first served basis, so you're not guaranteed beanbags if the class fills up. After learning how to juggle, our students tend to want to buy their own beanbags because they want to practice at home.
Many people watch a juggler and believe he or she is gifted with such abilities. The truth is that no one is born with the hand/eye coordination necessary for juggling, so when we teach, our first goal is to give our students a series of drills that help them build it to the degree needed for juggling. Every beginner juggler is taught from scratch.
Balls, scarves, clubs, rings, diabolos, flower sticks, spinning plates, and more. You name it. We can teach it. Our instructors tend to carry beanbags, rings and clubs with them at each class for introductory learning, but for any alternate prop, if you bring your own, we'll be more than happy to teach you.
There are thousands of patterns that you can learn and lots of ways to manipulate the props within them. Many of these variations can be learned even by beginners, and the more you learn, the more the possibilities for new tricks open up. Everyone's reasons for juggling are different. If you have specific goals, we can customize your curriculum to keep you motivated.
If you can already juggle 3 things, we can train you to move up to 4, or 5, or possibly more given enough time.
