Default I would love to learn....

So lets pretend you are getting ready to go to a convention... there will be balloon classes and makeup classes but the class you are REALLY excited about is the class on _____________.

What I'm looking for here is the class that hasn't been offered that you would love to attend. There have been several times I have been to conventions and wished they did a class on this or on that. Let your voice be heard and who knows you may just find your class offered at a convention near you....

Great idea, Stu!

Let's see.... Whip Cracking for me! From the basic to the tricks. Single-handed and two-handed. With whips of different materials, styles and lengths for students to try cracking. Maybe partner work as well.

Extreme Circus Skills... Tight rope, trapeze, animal taming all in clown style of course. Is their stilt walking classes? I fancy learning.

I was just going to say stilt walking!

But the costume one is a good idea too... I know my mentor clown has taught classes on ukulele before (modest sign up fee covers a cheap uke to start with and a small booklet of chords and songs).

Not sure what you would call this but I remember one time there was this guy who could draw your face in abuot 2 minutes. the paper already had an outline of a head and neck, he would fill in the eyes, nose, and mouth. Was really cool!

I took a class in Laughland last year and it was on designs and what you could make with PVC pipe it was great and I would have never thought of it. I would also love a class on stilt walking.
