Circus Skills workshop
This workshop contains a variety of exciting and fun activities where you can learn to do things that will amaze people and perhaps be the start of a new hobby that can easily be done at home, inside or outside.

The skills that can be chosen for these workshops are:
- Juggling (scarves, balls)
