I was curious if anyone had any ideas on places I could work for my stay so I would have more time to practice my juggling? I am aware of WWOOF, and of a few intentional communities in the US, but I was curious if anyone had any better ideas? Thank you all so much for your time and help!
My first exposure to juggling was at the Charles Dickins fair I was 10 I think He was doing contact juggling I was fascinated I didn’t understand how it was done but I did know one thing it was awesome
I taught myself how to juggle when I was about 12 with croquet balls. I’m 39 next week and am getting back into juggling. I bought some cheap Duncan balls off Amazon. They do the trick but the more I juggle the more I feel like quality balls would make a difference. The ones I’m using slip really easily in my hand and are getting mushy. (Bean bag balls). I’m feeling like a good set of balls would benefit me. I just don’t know anything to cause I’ve only used things laying around to juggle. Do quality balls make a difference? I’m practicing doing tricks and idk just get the feeling better balls could help a little? Do they make less slippery balls? Any recommendations? Also thinking off learning to juggle pins and wondering if I should just get quality pins rather than needing to upgrade sooner? I have very little practice with pins but I know with a little practice I could get the basics down. What makes a quality ball or pin? Sorry I know this is all over the place but I don’t know much about juggling. I can just do it and only know a few tricks. So any help and recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Some juggling to Elton John and Dua Lipa - Cold Heart
Hello everyone! I would like to start practicing multiplex throws for 8/10 balls fountain/cascade. But I keep struggling with the grip.. I play Russian balls of 70 mm and I have a medium size hand. Holding 4 balls is not being easy cause I can't really hold the 4th one without sliding with the other balls in hand.. Does anyone have tips to properly hold more than 3 balls in one hand? Thanks so much!
I think my favorite has to be Michael Davis
What’s funny is I actually don’t know how to do the box solo 🤣

Very new to juggling but I've been doing it for about 10 to 15 mins a day for about 3 weeks and still can't get the hang of 2 balls. I'm in my mid 30s. So Im wondering how long and how old were you when you got good at juggling?
Update: thank you everyone for the replies and suggestions. To clear some things up, yes I meant doing a cascade with 2 balls. I will definitely keep practicing with the suggestions everyone made and if I can find a way I'll upload a video to see what I'm doing wrong. I really appreciate how supportive this community is!
Looking to buy some equipment. Some balls/clubs for some kiddos in my church, as Christmas presents for them. Are there any sites having sales for BF incoming?
Hello there I want to learn how to juggle but I’m not sure where to start I do have balls that I can juggle with but do I start with one or two? I have so many questions
