JUGGLING DUEL! Stephan and Sylvain have an impromptu afternoon 5 prop juggling duel. Stephan edges out Sylvain who briefly stepped away from his handstand group to battle Stephan. Stephan eats, drinks and dreams juggling and is starting preparations to compete in the 77th Annual IJA Juggling Festival held this year Green Bay, Wisconsin next June. We’d say he is off to a good start this season. Dream BIG with CircusWest! ...
