JUGGLING WORKSHOPS:

From time to time I run “Juggling Workshops”. These have been known to take place in Schools and High Schools as part of PE / Sport lessons and I have also run them at corporate events for adults as a “Team Building” exercise.

 

The workshop runs for 1 hour and is very interactive. I provide enough materials for 30 participants per session.

 

Apart from being a lot of fun I am learning that there a great many benefits (particularly for school students) to learning how to juggle! In addition to being fun and entertaining, learning to juggle is actually healthy for the mind and body. The challenge of juggling improves eye-hand coordination, motor skills, and physical fitness for both children and adults.

Research has shown that there is a direct relationship between the hand-eye

coordination learned through juggling and the ability to read, write, and reason.

If you’re interested in having a “Juggling Workshop” at your School (or child’s school), Camp, Retreat, Rewards Day or Event you can contact me on 49423593 or email jdandfriends@dodo.com.au

PUBLICITY:

I have just seen the great publicity that appeared in the April edition of "Local Life" - Port Stephens Magazine.

A full page article and photo!

Time for an update!

I have received a few comments lately about how "old" my Youtube promotional clip is! Some of the footage was taken 8 years ago when I was still at school!

It was really time to post something new on youtube so this evening I posted a collection of photos from some of the different programs I offer, along with some testimonials from past customers!

LOVED LENNONS

Just got back home from seeing this evenings performance of Lennon Brothers Circus at Gosford.

The show was fantastic!

It was exactly what a circus should be - A great combination of Clowning, Aerial Acts, Juggling, Trapeze and beautiful animals including horses, dogs, camels, lions, lamas, donkeys and a monkey!
Be sure to go and see them when they are in your area http://www.lennonbroscircus.com.au/

A big thank you and congratulations to Cheryl Lennon and her team for such a wonderful program!
