Club closings, gym rules, history |
| Visitors: |
After 25 years of admitting visiting jugglers, the gym, now under new management, has
stopped letting anyone juggle without buying a membership ($75/year; $37.50/half-year). We are not happy about this but have no control over it. If you will be in NYC a while, please buy a membership. It's worth it. If you are just passing through and would like to visit the gym to juggle with us, please plea your case directly to the Rec. Center, (212) 242-5228, or better yet, plea your case directly to the NYC Parks & Recreation Commissioner to help us improve the situation for everybody.

Notes:
- All clubs open to the public, all levels welcome
- Clubs are not classes or formal groups, rather places for people who share a common interest to get together and practice.
- Most people are happy to teach newcomers how to juggle, explain tricks, and give pointers, but then you'll be expected to go work on them yourself.
- There are no communal props at any of these clubs. Many people are willing when asked to lend visitors any props they're not using.
- Don't count on using other people's stuff too long. Soon you'll need to buy your own equipment.
- Finally, many jugglers ignore each other (and you) while practicing. We're not mean; we're busy. Feel free to introduce yourself. We often go out to dinner after the Thursday meeting, and all jugglers are invited.
That said, hope to see you there.
