Sometimes called "devil-sticking" other terms often used are: "twirling", "sticking" and "stick juggling". (Y, M, O, T)

Teach Circus.com - This site is dedicated to helping teachers, recreation professionals, and performers give effective instruction in Circus Arts. Circus Arts are a valuable part of many Physical Education and Recreation programs. Because these skills are so novel, challenging, and fun, students of all ages are highly motivated to practice and achieve. Circus Arts are equally good as individual, partner, and group activities. Many students who do not enjoy traditional sports and games often excel at Circus Arts. Circus skills require concentration, patience, timing, tracking skills, gross motor coordination, and fine motor coordination.
