Biography:

Dan came into this earth cold, crying and wet, on December 14, 1966 in Neenah, WI. This was his first juggling experience. After being dropped by the doctor several times, Dan knew that his life would consist of picking things up. Dan didn't actually learn to juggle three balls until he was sixteen. He practiced hard for two years then poof! He was an adult and he had to prepare for the real world. After a great childhood, Dan shipped off to UW Stevens Point where he would study to become a chemist. Fortunately for the chemistry world, Dan quickly tired of balancing chemical equations and changed his major to printing and publishing. After experiencing many layoffs in the printing industry, God spoke to Daniel and told him to be a juggler. With that in mind Dan stepped out of the real world and into the performing world. After finding a pair of yellow shoes on sale in a mall Dan knew he was ready for whatever lay ahead.

Dan Kirk is now a full-time professional juggler, entertainer, speaker, and teacher of the art who resides in Menasha, WI. Dan's stage performances always include exciting family oriented comedy routines, a wide variety of juggling, zany balloon twisting, and the use of audience members. Flaming sticks of eminent death and the blood sucking machetes of disaster are not juggled in elementary schools, but fair attendies and middle school students love the sight. Dan learned to juggle in the summer of 1983. He began performing in 1987, and in 1993 he began touring full-time. Dan was featured on the cover of "Guideposts" magazine in 1994. "Guideposts" has the largest circulation of spiritual magazines in the country! In 1995 Dan starred in "Just Juggle," an exciting instructional juggling video which is now sold out. With over 2,333 performances throughout eleven states, Dan Kirk, The Juggler With The Yellow Shoes, is sure to be a hit. Dan provides comic juggling at its best!
