Learn to Juggle

Juggling is mostly throwing. Good throws make easy catches. Start here, then come to a meetup and we'll help in person.

Start Here

One Ball

Toss one ball from hand to hand in an arc that peaks about eye level. Get it smooth and even before adding another.

Two-Ball Exchange

Toss one. When it peaks, toss the other underneath it. Catch, catch, stop. That's the whole pattern in miniature.

Three-Ball Cascade

Start with two balls in your dominant hand. Keep throwing on each peak. Drops are part of it, so practice by a wall or a bed.

Try Flow Props

Poi, staff, and hoop are about smooth motion, not catches. Start slow, with soft practice poi or a light hoop.
