Just noticed I didn't answer some posts
Looking for the answers for Caroline and looking through my blog. I noticed I didn't answer some of your posts. Sorry, guys. For some reason I wasn't informed about your posts by e-mail or maybe I just missed them. I'll try to answer your questions now.
From Tom H:
"Dear Mr. Galchenko,
Hi! I was just wondering if you could email me a link of the pictures and videos that were on the old website. I only watched a few of them before the new website came. Thanks!
-Tom"

From Adrian:
"Mr Galchenko;
Did you excpect Vova and Olga to grow up taking juggling a lot more seriously than gymnastics?
Also, at what age did Vova study at circus school?
When did you start teaching them how to do these amazing things? What age?
\Thank you! Adrian Pole
Also, I want to start taking my juggling to a lot higher level, like performing ETC. Shall I follow my dream seriously and work up to a career in juggling? Or shall I think about this when I am a lot older? (I am 11-but I can juggle 6 balls and rings and lots and lots of tricks!)"

"Did you excpect Vova and Olga to grow up taking juggling a lot more seriously than gymnastics?"
First I didn't expect it. I wasn't serious about juggling myself. But after seeing my kid on stage I became more serious about juggling. So in two years after Vova started to learn juggling I started to teach juggling Olga.
I still wanted they don't give up gymnastics and they kept practicing gymnastics being in Russia.
"Also, at what age did Vova study at circus school?"
From age of 6 till age of 13. From age of 4 till age of 6 it was some preschool studies: 2 hours 3 times a week and there wasn’t juggling in that preschool program.
Olga from age of 7 till age of 10.
"When did you start teaching them how to do these amazing things? What age?"
From their birth. :-)
Learning letters from age of 2.
Learning reading from age of 3.
Practicing Acrobatics, General Physical Trainings, Equilibristic from age of 4 for Vova and from age of 3 for Olga.
Piano - from age of 6 for Vova and from age of 5 for Olga.
Juggling - from age of 6 for Vova and from age of 5 for Olga.
English - from age of 4 for Vova and from age of 3 for Olga.
"Shall I follow my dream seriously and work up to a career in juggling?"
If you like to do it, why not? But don't forget school. At age of 11 you don't really understand how important education is. Anyway you better ask your parents. They probably better know what would be better for you in your environment.
"I am 11-but I can juggle 6 balls and rings and lots and lots of tricks!"
I know you. :-) I saw your videos and read your posts on forums. You have really good skills in juggling already and really good English for 11-year old. As far as I understand you are not a native speaker, right? When did you start learning English? Who teaches you? School? Private teacher?
Well, good luck!
