"Parents were amazed at the focus and excitement (and even sometimes grace) that Jen created in our students.  She is an exceptional teacher.  She brought out the best in each child.  I cannot wait for her to return to our school next year."

John P. McEneny, Drama Teacher, William Alexander Middle School, NYC / Artistic Director, Piper Theatre Productions

FALL 2008

Bring out the circus performer in your child this fall with unique juggling classes!  Jen will be teaching circus arts classes at the Montclair Cooperative School in Montclair, NJ.  Classes are offered for ages 7 and up in a fun and supportive environment.

A great combination of mental and physical activity, juggling is athletic as well as artistic, and can be done individually or in a group.  The process of learning to juggle can improve hand-eye coordination, focus & concentration, self-confidence, artistic performance, teamwork & cooperation, rhythm & movement, and stamina & physical fitness.

Your child will learn basic juggling skills as elements of dance, movement, improvisation, clowning, magic, visual art and physical exercise are incorporated in preparation for a final circus demonstration for family and friends!
