Unicycles and juggling were once the domain of clowns. Now, nerds rule both disciplines. Juggling world records, for example, are tracked by something called the Juggling Information Service Committee on Numbers Juggling (JISCON). Members include two nerds who call themselves the Bounce Dicks, so named because they hold the world record for passing the greatest amount of bouncing balls. But juggling can also be dangerous. Some jugglers juggle chainsaws and fire torches. To learn to juggle like a nerd, attend a workshop hosted by Park Cities Yoga (located at the NW corner of Lovers Lane and the Tollway) on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $54. To register, visit parkcitiesyoga.com.
Sat., July 14, 2-5 p.m.
