Dan Grider loves juggling like he would a small puppy.  Dan has been professionally entertaining audiences with his juggling mastery and comedic genius since the year 2000.  Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, he has performed in a wide variety of venues ranging from corporate events to nonprofits, football halftime shows to cabarets across the U.S.  He has even performed as the juggler in the opera.  He juggles clubs, rings, balls, knives, he eats fire and stilt-walks just to name a few.  Dan is a great circus coach from beginner to advanced, kids to adults.  In adition to juggling he can teach unicycle, rolling globe, ragdoll, circus skating, rolabola, stilts, tight wire, fire eating, minitramp, partner acrobatics, and flying trapeze.

Have you heard rumors about Dan being 86’d from a coffee shop, the Atlanta Aquarium, and Iowa?  All false!  Dan was kicked out of Canada, not Iowa.  Fortunately, Canadian authorities said he could return with proper identification.

If you are not already, after Dan’s show you will be completely addicted to the art of throwing and catching things.  Lastly you can quote Dan, saying…  “A rolling stone gathers no moth balls.”
