Bekka Rose was first introduced to juggling when her parents enrolled her in Cirkids, a Vancouver based circus for kids, at age 7. Juggling soon became her passion, and this passion lead her to numerous juggling festivals and workshops throughout Europe and North America. In Europe, she studied under the

renowned Russian juggler Sergei Ignatov at the Jonglierkatakomben in Berlin, and with Jay Gilligan (USA) and Luke Wilson (UK) at Cirkus Cirkor, the circus school in Stockholm. Inspiration from this wide variety of techniques lead her to her own poignantly poetic style of juggling and movement.
