Without juggling, no one would have been able to calm irritable monarchs before they beheaded tardy cable guys or jesters who were incapable of doing a believable Patricia Arquette impression. Dazzle temper tantrums into submission with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get three 30-minute “Flying Balls at the U” juggling classes (a $45 value) at Trapeze U in Gilbert.

A serious circus school founded by two show-stopping yet show-starting entertainment experts, Trapeze U offers coordination-boosting “Flying Balls at the U” classes. Fit for would-be dexterous daredevils as young as eight years old and even old juggle pros, each juggling class takes students from lofting a lone ball into multitasking with anything from hooping rings to twirling fax machines. In each meeting, aspiring entertainers develop dexterity, hand-eye coordination, trick techniques, and the ability to remain as calm as the wooden side of a flaming torch. For both experienced performers and amateur handlers alike, the Trapeze U instructors artfully tailor lessons to avoid repetition, push for progress, and present fresh challenges to all juggling students.
