Jane's Hula Hoop Act

A student of mine turned me on to Circus Guide Entertainment, an agency that books high end circus acts. I found this little gem on their youtube channel. Jane is a hula hoop juggler who also toss juggles the hoops and rolls them across her back a la Nichols, etc. The act looks original and is brimming with creative ideas. Since she is restricted to a tiny pedestal, her throws need to be perfect, and they are!
I did not understand the ripped out heart, but I'm sure she did.

Jen Slaw

I came across Jen today and wanted to post her on this blog. She is a good illustration of a fine commercial act with great movement, a sense of fun, originality (incorporating contact, club swinging, toss juggling, and moves with single objects.) Her act is very enjoyable to watch and I wish her great success. She has the skill to juggle five balls, but that just serves to make her that much more confident. She is a juggler who is really able to deliver the goods.
