Learning to Juggle Tip #1

Juggling can be so frustrating especially when you are first learning. So I recommend when I am working with a student to keep a few things in mind.
1.Look where you want the ball to go (not at your hands). Usually this is just a little bit above your head. It helps to face a wall and put a piece of tape or a sticker dot where you want your juggling balls to go. It give you something to focus on and keeps your balls from flying to far forward.
2. Keep elbows at your waist. Instead of letting your elbows drift up to catch the balls keep them near your waist. Allow the juggling balls to come to your hands so you have more time between your tosses.
3. Keep hands open and palms facing up.
These 3 tips will get you juggling faster. Be sure to take breaks to allow your mind and body a break. I find diablos a great diversion especially when learning to juggle or learning a new trick. Most important is to have fun!
