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.

Lolly Plop, you made me laugh because I love waving at people when driving to an event. I go through drive thru's and everything. One time I went through the McDonalds drive thru and when I got to the window to pay the lady said "whoa! wasn't expecting that". By the time I got to the next window everyone inside was laughing and I was waving at everyone. And at stop lights - LOL - people do the funniest things when they see a clown. What I really love is waving to the kids, they love to see a clown and it's just funny to see one at the stop light, I guess .

We went through a McDonalds drive through one time and asked "Is Ronald Home???"

Since your name is Clarabelle, I'm gonna assume you are a female clown. I'm gonna suggest you watch old I Love Lucy and Carol Burnett videos too, so you get an ideal of how a female clown would use facial and body movements to express emotions and ideas.
