NEW: Juggling at the St. Louis Science Center. Click here for more info.

For more info try this website.

NOTE: the last meeting of the semester is Monday, May 7th.

Jugglers of all skill levels are welcome. Meetings are free and open to the public. Many members are happy to teach all skill levels, but our meetings are primarily for our own practice and sharing. If you’d like to set up a juggling workshop or class, we have several experienced professional teachers available.

In nice weather, we also meet to juggle in the U. City Delmar Loop Sunday afternoons around 3:00. (North side of Delmar, on the patio just east of the Market in the Loop where the drummers congregate.)

The St. Louis Juggling Club also:

Co-sponsors the annual Elsie Brooks Memorial Juggling competition at Union Station in the summer. See our Competition page for details. Competition 2006: August 26 at New Town! Details T.B.A.

Puts on a weekend juggling festival each fall, attracting jugglers from all over the country (sometimes internationally, too). A highlight of the weekend is a public show featuring performances by top jugglers of the Midwest. See our Festivals page for details.

Puts on comedy variety shows and fundraisers by contract. Contact us by e-mail if you’re interested.

We also have top comedy and juggling performers, theatrical talent, instructors of circus arts and so on available for hire.

*Our full name is the Stanger Organization for the Study of Epistemology and Juggling, which, although pronounced “sausage” should in no way be construed as to mean that our members either endorse the meat-packing industry or even espouse carnivorous diets. By the way, it’s not a typo, the word is “Stanger”—inspired by Al Stanger (against his wishes), one of our members. The acronym never much caught on, though, and we usually just call ourselves, The St. Louis Juggling Club.
