1. Juggling

2. What is Juggling? Juggling is defined as a sequence of patterned movement while manipulating a prop. Juggling as entertainment was documented during the Renaissance time period. Jugglers were considered entertainers. Modern day juggling became a sensation in 1768 when Phillip Ashley of England hired jugglers to perform in his circus.

3. Patterns The 3 patterns we will be covering are as follows: X pattern (cascade) Reverse Cascade Column

4. The “X” Pattern Can be performed utilizing 3 objects. An individual makes an x pattern as they throw the objects. When learning to juggle we will start with one object and learn the X pattern as a basis for juggling.

5. Reverse Cascade Pattern The reverse cascade pattern can be performed utilizing 3 objects. The individual will start by throwing an object from an outside to inside type pattern. The cascade pattern is a little more difficult than the X pattern.

6. Column Pattern This pattern can be done utilizing 3 objects. This pattern requires the individual to throw up to two objects simultaneously while maintaining a similar speed and height. This is the most difficult of our three patterns.
