Juggle together
A super easy warmup for beginner (club) jugglers who want to feel out clubs. No juggling skills required! This is usually the first pattern in our Workshop “Passing for Non-Jugglers”. It shows half-turns (flips) in “spin” and “anti-spin” direction and gives a feeling for the clubs center of gravity and rotation properties.
Another “little” 4-handed siteswap passing with Zaps. Great for warming up, super nice outdoors pattern, even with windy conditions.
We survived the first year of the pandemic, we are healthy, we are allowed to have a super tiny little juggling convention and we can still pass. Well, in a fashion. We tried complicated stuff like ambled panto… and then went back to “easy” stuff like this one. Enjoy!
This pattern was a part of the “Improving your zaps” workshop by Brook & Nicki. It is quite easy but more fun than 5 zaps 1-count…
The zap is magic. Unfortunately we took only super beautiful red clubs to the beach, though.
A very successful "Minis for jugglers and non-jugglers" Workshop!
These guys are now super motivated to juggle!
For shamrock, there are several ways to make it easier: full passes instead of zaps slow everything down. Likewise, 3 (or 5) selves slow the pattern and give more time to think. Jugglers who cannot do a self from their left hand may zip the club into their right hand before the 3rd pass arrives and then just start pass-pass-pass.
If you are afraid of clubs and of toss juggling: use balls and roll them on a table (or the floor).
Juli aus Ulm mit Floyd auf der “More props – more drops” Convention in Nürtingen 2015 – ganz minimalistisch mit nur 5 Keulen unterwegs.
At the EJC 2014 in Millstreet, Ireland, Anni and Tine gave a very nice workshop for ‘Minis’ – passing patterns with less than 3 clubs per person. There is a quite easy 4 club pattern for 2 people, 3p 2 2p 1 (“Benni”) which was also in the ‘Minis’ workshop at the 2014 Berlin convention. The second one is a much harder 5 club pattern for 2 people, 3p 1 2 4. For that one, I included 2 exercises in the video.
