Learn Club Swinging this autumn

In addition to our Thursday juggling workshops we're running FREE Monday CLUB SWINGING classes in the dance studio at the Black Prince  Community Hub / Lilian Baylis Old School site (directions here). Check out some of the videos earlier in this blog if you aren't sure what club juggling is.

The classes start next Monday 1st October with a drop-in introductory session to find out about club swinging and run weekly from 7 to 8pm (though Ali isn't available on Monday 8th so that'll be more of a practice session rehearsing the moves taught in the first week). The main block of classes will run weekly from 15 October to 19th November giving a chance to progress week by week.

The teacher is Ali Dando, an experienced teacher of club swinging. We'll also have some swinging clubs available for people attending to use.

The course are free thanks to support from 'Give it a Go' so please come along and give it a go!.

A successful first workshop

Thanks to the twenty or so people who came along to the first Southbank Jugglers workshop last week. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's workshop, partly because gorgeous Gandini Juggling have donated a load of beanbags, rings, scarves, balls and clubs for people to use at the workshop...including these Pushmi-Pullu clubs!
 People enjoyed checking out their moves in the full width mirror
 and generally jumping around while juggling clubs, whirling diabolos, spinning poi, hula-hooping and having a go at loads of stuff.
