HOW TO JUGGLE
Learning to juggle is both simple and rewarding. The best way to learn to juggle is to have someone help you. Your local juggling club is a great place to find someone to help you learn.
Or if you don’t have a local club, hopefully the IJA can point you in the right direction so that you will be juggling in no time! Once a juggler, always a juggler; and a juggler always strives to improve in some fashion. But as a new juggler, here are some good links to help you learn with scarves and balls, the most common objects for learning how to juggle (normally three in a basic cascade):
- How to Juggle 3 Balls – Instructions on the 3-ball cascade.
