Want to add some excitement to your act? Come to this workshop and give bullwhips a try! This is a workshop for whip beginners and those who need a little refresher on the basics. We’re going to spend about 30 minutes talking about the bullwhip, the differences in other types of whips, and the basics of whip handling. I’ll try to answer any questions you might have. Then we’ll have an hour to get your hands on a whip and try the 3 or 4 cracks we’ll be able to cover. If you have a whip or can borrow one that would be great. I’ll have about 6 whips on hand to pass around. As an added benefit, all workshop attendees will be able to communicate with me via video in the future to help with any questions. I’ll be your personal coach.
