Look in the Balloons section and amazing clown resources thread here for instructions on making various balloon animal. I see no reason why you shouldn't start getting some experience by offering your friends and family free birthday parties. Just have something planned to do. You could do games or dances like hokey pokey. There are plenty of clowns like me who never learned to juggle. No matter how many different animals I learn to make for my own amusement 90% of the kids want either a dog or a sword. If you can make a few animals you should be ok to start. When I first started I used to just get dressed up and drive around in my car just waving at people. If I had waited until I was perfect to get out there and learn how to perform I'd still be sitting at home in my clown suit 20 years later.
